Planned Giving at Sawgrass Nature Center & Wildlife Hospital
A gift in your estate plan is one of the most meaningful ways to protect wildlife and support education for
future generations. Planned gifts help ensure that injured animals receive care, habitats are protected, and
children continue to experience nature in a safe and inspiring environment.
Legacy giving is not only for the wealthy — gifts of any size make a lasting difference.
Ways to Include Sawgrass in Your Plans
There are many simple ways to create a legacy gift:
• Naming Sawgrass Nature Center in your will or living trust
• Designating the Nature Center as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy
• Naming Sawgrass as a beneficiary of an IRA, pension, or retirement account
• Donor-advised fund legacy gifts
• Gifts of stock or appreciated assets
• Memorial or tribute gifts in honor of a loved one
These options can often be arranged with a short form and may provide tax benefits depending on your
circumstances.
The Impact of Your Legacy
Your future gift helps:
• Rescue and rehabilitate injured wildlife
• Maintain safe habitats and enclosures
• Expand youth education programs
• Support conservation outreach
• Provide emergency medical care for animals in need
A planned gift ensures that your love for animals continues to make an impact for decades to come.
Suggested Bequest Language
If you choose to include Sawgrass Nature Center & Wildlife Hospital in your will, the following language may be
helpful to you and your advisor:
“I give to Sawgrass Nature Center & Wildlife Hospital, a nonprofit organization located in Coral Springs, Florida,
the sum of $_____ (or _____% of my estate) to be used for its general charitable purposes.”
You may designate your gift for a specific purpose if you wish.
Join the Legacy Circle
Donors who notify us of their planned gift may be invited to join our Legacy Circle — a special group
recognized for their long-term commitment to wildlife protection and education. Recognition is optional and
can remain anonymous if preferred.
