Planning for Your Family

The goal of estate planning is to provide peace of mind and financial support for yourself and your loved ones.

• Make sure your will is the best it can be.
• Plan for a financially secure retirement.

• Leave us a percentage of your assets through a gift in your will.
• Make a charitable gift to us and receive fixed payments for life.
• Designate a percentage of your retirement plan assets to benefit The North Carolina Zoological Society, Inc. after your lifetime.
• Donate appreciated stock you have owned for more than one year.
• Donate your home or another piece of real estate.
• Arrange a charitable remainder trust to benefit The North Carolina Zoological Society, Inc..
• Set up a charitable lead trust that supports us and helps preserve your loved ones' inheritance.
