From time to time, we
receive requests for information on making bequests to Sarasota Audubon Society.
(Please see our online brochure.) Unlike chapters of many other organizations, SAS is a separate legal 501(c) (3)
organization, as well as being a chapter of National Audubon. Hence, we
can legally receive bequests. Please consider Sarasota Audubon Society in
your will. There are several ways you can do it:
1) Specific Bequest:
this involves a precise amount of money or property.
2) Residuary Bequest:
SAS will receive all or a portion of your estate after debts, taxes, expenses
and all other bequests.
3) Percentage Bequest:
SAS will receive a percentage of your estate as part of the residuary estate.
4) Contingent Bequest:
this is activated if a beneficiary dies before you do.
When considering a bequest, please talk to your tax accountant or attorney first.
