Leaving a Gift in Your Will

Bequests to WIRES are a Living Legacy

Why Bequest?

• Including WIRES in your will helps us to rescue and care for more animals, protecting and preserving wildlife for generations to come.
• Every gift no matter how big or small makes a significant difference for wildlife.
• Bequests are vitally important to WIRES work, helping us put life back in the wild for the last 35 years.  
• Bequests to WIRES create a living legacy, helping tens of thousands of native animals every year.

Eternally Native Club Membership

To honour our benefactors we have established Eternally Native, a special club for like-minded people who have pledged a bequest to WIRES in their wills. With their permission, members of Eternally Native are honoured during their lifetime when they are able to accept our warmest thanks and appreciation for their pledged support, thoughtfulness and generosity.

Membership is complimentary and voluntary. Members will receive a lapel pin, a certificate of appreciation and invitations to special events. There are no obligations of membership other than naming WIRES as a beneficiary in your will or having a life insurance policy that includes WIRES. If you would prefer not to participate and have your gift remain anonymous you can.
