One of the most meaningful ways to support Audubon's work in South Carolina is to add us to your estate plans. A gift through a will or living trust lets you plan for a future contribution, and it helps us know that we'll have support to continue our important mission well into the future. 

Right now, we have an exciting legacy challenge to offer: with confirmed estate gift commitments from Audubon members, we will receive an amount for immediate use in South Carolina, equal to 10% of the bequest’s current value up to $10,000. Your future gift can come from your retirement plan, will or trust, annuity, or life insurance policy. 

Whether your future gift is directed to general Audubon programs or those in South Carolina (like Beidler Forest or Silver Bluff Sanctuary), birds in our state will receive additional support today.

How to participate: Let us know you are leaving a gift to Audubon or Audubon South Carolina programs, with the estimated amount of your gift. We will get in touch for additional details to make your gift count towards the legacy challenge.

What if you don’t know the exact amount of your future gift?

That’s okay. We’ll ask you to make your best guess estimate in today’s dollars. Nothing you put down is legally binding and you can change your plans at any time. This is just an informal “thumbs up” from you that we can count on you in the future.
