WILDLegacy
Leave a legacy of compassion. Protect wildlife for generations.
The WILDLegacy program invites supporters to make a lasting impact through estate gifts and planned giving. These thoughtful commitments ensure that injured, orphaned, and displaced wildlife will continue to receive expert rescue, medical care, and rehabilitation long into the future.
A legacy gift is more than a financial decision — it’s a statement of values. It reflects a belief that every animal deserves a second chance and that the wild places we share are worth protecting.
Why Legacy Giving Matters
Planned gifts provide long‑term stability for WILDNorth’s mission. They allow us to:
-
Respond rapidly to wildlife emergencies
-
Provide specialized veterinary care and rehabilitation
-
Invest in facilities, equipment, and training
-
Plan confidently for future needs and population trends
-
Ensure wildlife rescue remains strong for decades to come
Your legacy becomes part of the foundation that keeps our doors open and our teams ready to act.
Ways to Give Through WILDLegacy
Legacy gifts can be structured in several ways, depending on your goals and circumstances:
-
A gift in your Will (a bequest of a specific amount, percentage, or asset)
-
A gift of life insurance by naming WILDNorth as a beneficiary
-
RRSP/RRIF or TFSA beneficiary designations
-
A gift of securities that may offer tax advantages
-
Residual gifts that distribute what remains after other commitments
Each option allows you to support wildlife in a meaningful, lasting way while caring for your loved ones and your estate priorities.
A Legacy Symbol: The Owl
The WILDLegacy program is represented by the owl — a symbol of wisdom, foresight, and guardianship. Owls remind us that our actions today echo into the future, shaping the world that generations of people and wildlife will inherit.
By joining WILDLegacy, you become part of a circle of donors whose quiet strength and thoughtful planning safeguard the wild for years to come.
