Q: When should I start planning?

Now is the time! It's never too early or too late to be prepared and organized for your future. An estimated 70% of Americans don't even have a will. Don't contribute to this number by planning your distribution of assets.

Q: Do I have to decide right now?

Absolutely not! The Wild Animal Health Fund is here for you, we know that such an incredible gift takes consideration. If you have more questions, feel free to contact: Sydney Kirk PR and Fundraising Associate skirk@wildanimalhealthfund.org

Q: What's the most common planned gift?

A bequest is the most common gift. That means a percentage or dollar amount will be left to the organization in a will or living trust.

Q: What is my next step?

The Wild Animal Health Fund is honored that you are here. When you're ready to contact us, you can do so via email: skirk@wildanimalhealthfund.org OR call us at 904-618-3654.
