You may designate JGI as a beneficiary in your will, trust, retirement plan, or insurance policies. Options such as charitable remainder trusts allow donors to continue to receive any interest generated from their assets during their lifetime, while full ownership of the assets are transferred to JGI after death.
Bequests are a simple option that appeal to many.
They do not require the formation of a trust, calculations of life expectancy, or other complex planning. Donated assets remain the full property of the donor throughout the duration of their lifetime. In many cases, planned giving will allow the donor to increase their cash income during their lifetime, while providing organizations such as the Jane Goodall Institute with much-needed funding for years to come. For any planned giving, due legal process is required for disposition of estates. For more information concerning bequests and planned giving, please contact JGI's Executive Director or your own attorney.
