As a friend and donor of East Coast Zoological Foundation (ECZF), your support of our compelling initiatives in conservation, education and animal wellbeing is invaluable.
Your gifts and commitment enable us to save threatened and endangered species, protect our delicate ecosystems, preserve our shorelines and waterways and provide the next generation with the tools and inspiration to explore, understand and positively impact our world.
To safeguard these critical mission priorities, consider including a gift to ECZF in your estate plan. Stewarded with care, your legacy gift will provide sustained funding for our world-class programs and initiatives at both ECZF campuses for generations to come.
It will be our privilege to honor your partnership, ensuring the brightest of futures for our community and beyond.

The easiest and most tangible way of making a lasting impact is to specify an exact amount, a percentage of your estate, or what remains after providing for your heirs.
Including ECZF as a beneficiary of your retirement plan is a tax-savvy way to make a charitable gift, as amounts remaining in these plans at death may be subject to estate and income taxes when left to individuals. For those 70½ or older, a qualified charitable distribution from an IRA comes with additional tax benefits.
Designating ECZF to receive all or a portion of a life insurance policy no longer needed for its original purpose may also result in income and estate tax benefits.
ECZF can be named a beneficiary of such accounts, simplifying planning and administration processes for estate executors or administrators.
