WHY LEAVE A GIFT IN YOUR WILL?

Without the incredible generosity of our supporters we could not continue our vital work, protecting and conserving threatened wild animals and their habitats.

Leaving a gift to Born Free in your Will is a fantastic way of contributing to the preservation of wildlife and natural environments for future generations. Legacy gifts typically fund 1 in 4 of our projects.

Q: What type of gift is best?

Any gift will make a difference to our work to Keep Wildlife in the Wild. Hopefully, we will not receive your gift for many years, but if you choose to leave us a residuary gift it would mean that the proportion would remain constant.

Q: Can I choose which project I want my money to go towards?

Yes. However, projects and needs do change over time, so it is helpful if your gift is not too specific.

Q: What happens if I change my mind?

You can change your mind at any time. We recommend that you consult a solicitor whenever you make changes to your Will.

Q: Do I have to tell you if I include Born Free in my Will?

It’s entirely up to you whether or not you share your intentions with us. We understand this is a sensitive matter, and your circumstances and priorities may change in the future but it’s always lovely to be able to thank our friends who leave a legacy.
