A bequest is a charitable gift left to Golden Gate Bird Alliance through your will. This is a risk-free way to make a long-lasting, positive impact on birds, wildlife and habitat in the Bay Area. These gifts come to GGBA after your lifetime.
Leave a percentage of your estate, a specific percentage of your assets, or dedicate the residual of your estate after providing for your loved ones.
With FreeWill, you can plan your gift in just 20 minutes, making a difference that lasts a lifetime. Begin your legacy today!
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate Golden Gate Bird Alliance as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
Naming Golden Gate Gate Bird Alliance as the beneficiary of your retirement plans, life insurance, donor advised funds, or other financial accounts, can lead to great tax benefits and future benefits for birds!
These gifts allow you to name Golden Gate Bird Alliance as a primary or secondary beneficiary of all or a percentage of your designated account(s).
- Request a beneficiary form from the appropriate plan manager
- Write in Golden Gate Bird Alliance as a beneficiary or partial beneficiary using our legal language (Tax ID Number for SSN and Date of Incorporation for DOB)
- Send filled form to your plan manager and a copy to GGBA.
Life income gifts, such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts, provide an income stream and tax benefits for you while also benefiting Golden Gate Bird Alliance.
