uch of the funding for IBRRC’s
aquatic bird rehabilitation program
comes from our supporters. We hope
that our donors will include provisions
in their wills and other estate
planning documents as a means to
provide additional support for
IBRRC. By including our wildlife
rehabilitation organization in
your will, you ensure the continuation
of our wildlife rehabilitation
and environmental awareness campaigns
for generations to come.
Bequests
Specific bequests to IBRRC may
take many forms. You may arrange
for us to receive a specific
dollar amount or specified assets,
such as securities, real estate
or tangible personal property.
You may leave a “residuary” bequest,
i.e., a bequest in which IBRRC
receives the portion of your
estate that remains once specific
bequests are satisfied. Still
other alternatives can be included
to provide for property to pass
to IBRRC after other beneficiaries
have had use of the property
for a specified period.
Tax Benefits
An outright bequest to IBRRC
is not subject to federal
or state estate or inheritance
taxes and is deductible in
calculating your taxable estate.
There is no limit to that
deduction. Please check with
your tax consultant.
Gifts in Your
Will
The most useful bequest is
an unrestricted bequest for
the general purposes of IBRRC.
This permits us to use your
gift wherever it is most needed
at the time.
The following language is
suggested for use in a will
in making an unrestricted
bequest: “I give (the
amount of $______)
(all /or _____ percent of
the residuary of my estate)
to International Bird Rescue
Research Center, 4369 Cordelia
Road, Fairfield, California
94534, for its general purposes.”
Creating an estate plan
that best suits your needs
and wishes takes time. We
encourage you to discuss
your options with a legal
or tax advisor to determine
what is best for you and
your family.
IBRRC is a 501(c)(3)
charitable organization, so your
contribution is tax deductible.
