Planned giving is an important part of ensuring the valuable work of citizen scientists

​Remember Western Cuyahoga Audubon in your giving plans!
Americans are bombarded everyday by charities asking for money.  The Western Cuyahoga  Audubon Society is no different.  

​We’re asking you to include Western Cuyahoga  Audubon Society in your will or retirement.

You’re probably asking yourself right now, “What’s in it for me?”

Simply this: By including Western Cuyahoga  Audubon Society in your will or other estate plan, you can help ensure that future generations will enjoy our environmental education programs as you do now.

If you have not yet written a will, we urge you to do so.  A properly-prepared will is the only way to be sure that your wishes will be carried out after your lifetime.  It is important that you have your will prepared by an attorney who understands your needs and is familiar with the laws of Ohio.  

If you have already written your will, you may add a bequest to Western Cuyahoga  Audubon Society by asking your attorney to prepare an amendment or codicil.  Your attorney may find the  following paragraph helpful in preparing your will:
“I bequeath to the Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society, a non-profit organization with its principal offices located at 4310 Bush Ave., Cleveland, OH 44109 and tax ID number of 34-1522665, the sum of $_______for its general unrestricted purposes in environment conservation.”
You can save taxes by naming Western Cuyahoga  Audubon Society as the beneficiary of your estate, trust, or other financial plan.  Assets remaining in your plan at your death will otherwise be subject to estate and income taxes in the hands of your heirs.  

​A good way to maximize benefits is to bequeath cash, securities, and real property to your family and leave your financial plan assets to Western Cuyahoga  Audubon Society.  

To name Western Cuyahoga  Audubon Society as a beneficiary of the assets in your retirement plan, you should request a beneficiary designation form from the plan sponsor.
