The FAD Foundation has introduced millions of people to the beauty and fragility of the African Landscapes. This is where precious habitat is saved and for many, where memories are made.
By considering a gift in your will, you can give future generations the joy of discovery on the FAD Foundation by helping to preserve a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.
Options to consider
Gifting a share of your assets
A “residual gift” allows you to leave a percentage of what is left of your estate or assets once all debts have been paid.
Sample wording: “My estate trustees shall pay or transfer to The FAD Foundation all (or %) of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate to be used for the general purposes of The FAD Foundation.
Gifting a specific amount
This allows you to leave a specific amount to the FAD Foundation.
Sample wording: “My estate trustees shall pay or transfer to The FAD Foundation the sum of $________ to be used for the general purposes of The FAD Foundation.
Adding a codicil
If you already have a will in place, you may wish to speak to your legal advisor about the simple process of adding a codicil to your will.
Benefits to leaving a gift in your will
– You retain full control of assets in your lifetime.
– Gifts made in your will can reduce or even eliminate final income tax, which can be a big benefit to your heirs.
– You can make a more significant gift than you might otherwise be able to in your lifetime.
– You have the flexibility to change your will at any time.
– You will give future generations the joy of discovery on the FAD Foundation
