Make a Planned Gift

Consider extending your support of Audubon beyond your lifetime.

What Will Your Legacy Be?
Have you considered making a planned gift to support the causes that you have cared about throughout your lifetime? If you share Audubon's values and feel a personal responsibility for stewarding our natural world, please consider extending your support beyond your lifetime by including Audubon Maryland-DC in your plans for a legacy gift, IRA rollover, or stock appreciation.

There are many ways to make a legacy gift, including:

Making a gift through your IRA by designating Audubon Maryland-DC as a beneficiary. This strategy may have important tax benefits for your heirs and your estate.
Naming Audubon Maryland-DC as a beneficiary or partial beneficiary of a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose.
Naming Audubon Maryland-DC a successor beneficiary for your donor advised fund or the recipient of a portion of the remaining account value.
Setting up a charitable gift annuity agreement to provide lifetime income for yourself or members of your family and a gift to Audubon Maryland-DC.
Naming Audubon Maryland-DC or one of its programs in your will.
