Imagining the Future
for Wildlife
When you leave a legacy or planned gift in your will to Wildlife SOS, you’re helping to ensure a future of wildlife conservation and rescue. Because of your generous support, Wildlife SOS is making great positive changes in the protection of India’s elephants, bears, leopards and other precious wildlife. But we’ve got a long way to go to ensure their future. By including Wildlife SOS in your legacy, will or estate, you can leave a lasting mark on wildlife. Any amount, big or small, helps us make an impact.
Five Reasons to Leave a Legacy
Leaving a legacy is an extremely personal and profound decision. Here are five examples of how your legacy for Wildlife SOS will create real change – making India a place where people and wildlife can coexist peacefully and humanely for generations to come.
- Freedom – Relief for elephants like Laxmi, who suffered in captivity for years before her rescue.
- Justice – Fighting in the courts to secure their freedom. In Raju’s case, justice was ultimately won in India’s high court.
- Preservation – Protecting the natural places where wildlife can remain wild.
- Rehabilitation – Helping animals that have been abused physically and psychologically. Elephants like Suraj, who was chained for decades in a temple.
- Hope – Solving problems that have existed for centuries. We ended the cruel practice of “dancing bears” and with your help will solve other large problems.

Wildlife SOS has partnered with FreeWill, to offer you a completely free and easy tool to help with your estate planning. In as little as 20 minutes you can protect your family, get peace of mind and create a plan for your future. And of course, we hope you will consider including Wildlife SOS in your plans.

Beneficiary Designations
Assets you pass on outside of your will are called non-probate assets, and typically include IRAs, 401(k)s, pensions, certain bank and brokerage accounts, and life insurance policies.
For complex estate plans, you can still use the Freewill tool to help you think through all the details and print out to take to your lawyer — potentially saving you time and money. If you are working with a lawyer to create your estate plan and need info for including Wildlife SOS, our Tax ID and contact information is below.

What will your legacy be?
For UK Residents – Making a Will helps you to provide for your loved ones whilst giving you peace of mind that your wishes will be respected.

This is the perfect opportunity to have your Will written, or to update your Will, so that it more accurately reflects your wishes and ensures your family know exactly what you want to happen.

Supporter Testimonial – “I can honestly recommend Farewill’s telephone service. Their representative who dealt with me was professional, efficient, helpful, patient and kind. She assisted me in formulating my exact wishes, and had these checked with their Legal Team to ensure they met the requirements of Scots Law, making one or two adjustments to that end.” – Pauline S.
