As you make plans for your estate, you may wish to consider designating our organization, the North Island Wildlife Recovery Association (NIWRA), as the recipient of a) a fixed amount, b) a percentage, or c) a residual interest in your estate.
Bequests have played a key role in funding our unique and ambitious projects, including our Eagle Flight Cage, our Museum of Nature, and our Vancouver Island Bear Rehabilitation Program, which have all involved substantial capital costs.
We strongly encourage donors to consult their own trusted legal and financial advisors when considering which options are most beneficial.
Ways to Include NIWRA
In Your Charitable Estate Planning (Bequests)
Life Insurance
As the donor, you can designate our organization as either the owner or the beneficiary of your life insurance policy.
Annuities: Remainder Trusts
Annuities may be made during a donor’s lifetime and generate immediate income/tax relief for the donor by designating our organization as the capital beneficiary.
'In Memorial' Donations
When a loved one dies, family and friends can honour a life well lived by donating to our organization in memory of the deceased.
Please consult your own trusted legal and financial advisors when considering which options are most beneficial for you.
