Legacy Giving
A gift in your will is one of the most powerful things you can do for the animals that need us most. It costs nothing today, and it changes everything tomorrow.
Why Leave a Gift to WARN
WARN is at the beginning of something important. The infrastructure we are building — mobile vet clinics, sanctuary land, anti-trafficking partnerships, de-snaring patrols — will protect animals for decades to come.
A legacy gift is an investment in that future. It ensures that when the next crisis strikes, and when the next endangered animal needs a safe place to go, WARN has the resources to respond.
Legacy gifts of any size make a difference. A residual gift (a percentage of what remains after specific bequests) is the most flexible and often the most valuable option for a young charity.
Types of Legacy Gift
- Residual gift: A percentage of your estate after specific bequests are fulfilled. Often the most valuable type for a charity.
- Pecuniary gift: A fixed sum of money, regardless of the size of your estate.
- Specific gift: A specific asset — property, shares, or a valuable item.
Sample Wording
For a residual gift, your solicitor can use wording such as:
"I give [X% of my residuary estate / the sum of £X] to World Animal Rescue Network, a charity applying for registration in England and Wales, for its general charitable purposes."
