MORE WAYS TO GIVE

LEGACY & PLANNED GIVING

Once you’ve taken care of your family, legacy gifts let you take money that would have gone to the government in taxes and instead direct it toward organizations and causes you care about. Details depend on your individual financial situation, so it’s important to seek expert advice.

THE IMPACTS OF LEGACY GIVING

• A legacy gift made possible our groundbreaking multi-year project to find the cause behind the ecosystem-wide decline of many marine bird species in the Salish Sea. It allowed us to hire a world-class scientist to bring collaborators together, evaluate decades of marine bird status data from the US and Canada, and identify the common factors behind the decline of bird species. This is now being used to recover multiple bird species at the same time.

• A legacy gift funded the Salish Sea Science Prize. This prestigious one-of-a-kind award is given every two years to a scientist or a group of scientists whose scientific work has made a real and measurable difference in improving the health of the Salish Sea and its marine wildlife.

• A legacy gift supports SeaDoc’s undersea habitat mapping laboratory, which improves our ability to protect important species like forage fish and rockfish.

• Legacy giving can help grow our Pacific Northwest Endowment Fund, which helps secure the long-term future impact of the SeaDoc Society.

IT makes a difference for you too:

Legacy giving can provide important tax benefits, including a charitable income tax deduction or savings on capital gains taxes. Gifts can be structured to give you lifetime use of your property or lifetime income from your investments.
