Planned giving helps fuel Forest Guardian Network’s mission
Planned giving is vital for Forest Guardian Network, providing stable, long-term funding for our conservation efforts. Bequests, charitable trusts, and other planned giving options help us protect biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and promote sustainable development. This enduring support enables us to commit to environmental stewardship and community education for a sustainable future.
As a long-time supporter of Forest Guardian Network, I have seen firsthand the incredible impact they make on our environment. That’s why I decided to include a bequest in my will to ensure their vital work continues for future generations. Knowing that my legacy will help protect our planet and promote sustainability gives me immense satisfaction and peace of mind.

More ways to make an impact
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Gifts that pay you back
Give assets while providing yourself or others with income for a period of time or distributions at a later date.
