leave a gift in your will today, and help protect the animals of our future

why leave a lagacy gift to ifaw?

Here at IFAW we understand that writing your Will is an important thing to do in order to ensure your loved ones and the causes close to you are remembered. If you are thinking about leaving a Gift in your Will to IFAW, you will continue to partner with us and others on current and future projects rescuing and protecting more animals around the world. Types of gifts include:

a percentage of your estate

Also known as a Residuary Gift and is very popular. The amount is worked out after all bills and taxes have been paid. Even leaving just 1% in your Will to IFAW will have a huge impact on the work we do in the future.

a cash gift

Also known as a Pecuniary Gift, it is a set sum of money in your Will, and no matter how big or small the amount, it will make a remarkable gift.

a specific gift

You may have an item of value that you wish to leave as a Gift in your Will. This can be anything from jewellery, to a car, to stocks and shares you might own. Whatever you choose to leave, we will do our best to maximise the value of that gift so that it will make the biggest impact in your memory.

questions and answers

is it important to have a Will?

Many people ask, why do I need a Will? The answer is simple – because it is the only way that you can be assured that everything you own goes to your loved ones and the causes you care about. If you don’t have a Will upon your death, you will die intestate and your estate will be handed over to the government to decide how it will be distributed.

should everybody have a Will?

If you think you don’t have much to leave so don’t feel the need to write a Will, then think again! Wills are not just for the rich and famous and so no matter how much or how little you own, it is still worth getting your Will written to make sure that what you own goes to who you want it to.

am I too young to have a Will?

Wills aren’t just for older people and it is something that many adults should consider as soon as they enter into a marriage, buy a house, have children, or own any valuable assets. So no matter how old you are, if you have any assets or dependants, it is a great idea to get your affairs in order with a Will.

should I leave a gift in my Will or donate now instead?

We are so grateful for any type of donation we receive at whatever time suits you best. However, Gifts in Wills are incredibly powerful in helping us to plan ahead for the future. It is also a great way for your support to continue even after you’ve gone, showing your commitment to animal welfare for years to come.
