Nurture Our Future – Double Your Impact
“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”
– Robert Swan
With great victories, like moving to our forever home, it is easy to feel complacent. But earth and time are finite resources, and the race to save one is in many ways a race against the other. It is why we are forever grateful for our generous donors who intimately understand this sentiment and stand alongside us in our fight to protect and conserve our wildlife and environment.
We are thrilled to announce that all contributions to our endowment fund will be matched up to $1 Million, made possible by a transformational gift from the Glenn M. Bailey Foundation. Tomorrow’s legacy is an endowment gift today. Your gift goes towards an invested fund which will grow with the market for years to come. The principal value of your gift is kept fully intact in perpetuity, allowing you to make a lasting impact in our community, while the investment earnings help fund our crucial work now and in the future.
Our goal is to make creating your legacy as simple as possible. Gifts to the endowment can be made in various ways. You can choose to make your donation online by scanning the QR code below, or via check, through a Donor-Advised Fund, by making a gift of stock, or by listing Busch Wildlife Sanctuary Foundation as a beneficiary in your will.
