Create your heritage with an endowment gift to the Santa Ana Zoo. Your endowment gift will grow to become a permanent heritage of support for our good work!
Why make an endowment gift?
- An endowment gift is a gift to an established fund that is permanently invested.
- When you make an endowment gift, you create a steady stream of annual income to support our good work.
- Your gift will be maintained in perpetuity and make a lasting, meaningful difference.
There are several ways in which you can make an endowment gift either today or as part of your estate plan.
Options
An endowment gift may be designated for a specific purpose. Please let us know if you wish to restrict the use of income from your gift for a specific program or purpose. You may wish to make the endowment gift in your honor, or in memory of another person. We can help you make a gift that creates a heritage of remembrance for you and your loved ones.
Charitable remainder trust
When you transfer your cash or appreciated property to a charitable remainder trust, the trust will pay you income for your life or a number of years. You will receive a tax saving charitable deduction for your gift of the remainder to our endowment.
Bequest
A gift to our endowment made through your will or trust, may provide your estate with valuable tax savings. Your endowment bequest can be a gift of a specific asset, percentage of your estate or the residue (what's left after specific bequests are made to your family).
Your endowment gift will create a permanent heritage of lasting support for our work!
