Have you considered making a gift through your will or estate plan to support the causes that you have cared about throughout your lifetime? If you share our values and feel a personal responsibility for stewarding our natural world, please consider extending your support beyond your lifetime by including Audubon Nebraska, Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary, or Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center in your plans with a legacy gift.

There are many ways to make a legacy gift, including:

• Making a gift through your retirement plan by designating Audubon Nebraska, Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary, or Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center as a beneficiary. This strategy may have important tax benefits for your heirs and your estate. 
• Naming one of these programs as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
• Setting up a charitable gift annuity agreement to provide lifetime income for yourself or members of your family.
• Naming one of these programs in your will.
