Did you know there are creative ways to support Audubon and you and your loved ones at the same time?

Such giving techniques are called "planned gifts," because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and Audubon. For example:

  • You can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.
  • You can give stock and realize larger tax savings.
  • You can get a quarterly check for life in return for your gift.
  • You can donate your house, continue to live there, and get a tax break all at the same time.

While most planned gifts can be made at any age, you should plan your gift based on your goals. Our Legacy Planner is a decision-making tool that helps you do just that… and it's interactive and fun to use. Try it!
