Legacy Giving

A legacy gift is one of the most impactful ways you can support WildEarth Guardians’ critical conservation work. Through a commitment in your will, living trust or other estate plans, you are leaving a legacy of protecting the wild for future generations.

As a legacy donor to WildEarth Guardians you become a member of our Aldo Leopold Society and join other generous and forward-thinking individuals who have already made this commitment to Guardians’ long-term success. A legacy gift of any amount can make a lasting difference in protecting the environment.

Aldo Leopold Society members are our most loyal champions and enjoy invitations to exclusive events, receive our biannual strategic update, our annual report and more, all while making an incredible impact on our work.

If you do not have an up-to-date plan in place, you can create your legal will for free using this trusted resource from our partners at FreeWill, which makes it simple to join the Aldo Leopold Society in just a few minutes. 

If you would prefer to finalize your will with an attorney, you can also save time with your lawyer by using FreeWill to document your wishes first.
