hare Your Legacy through Planned Giving Your donations help to keep your Zoo fOREVER fREE fOR EVERYONE. As the Zoo approaches its 100 th anniversary, the Zoo Century renovations will put us in a position to ensure another 100 years of this wonderful community resource. By including the Friends of the Zoo in estate planning and planned giving, donors realize a host of tax advantages while helping ensure that the Henry Vilas Zoo continues to thrive for generations to come. Ways to Give: Gifts to the Endowment are one of the best ways to provide enduring support. Because endowments exist in perpetuity, donors and their families can enjoy the emotional rewards of these funds for generations to come. Tributes and Memorials provide a meaningful way to honor a special person or event while supporting the conservation, education and outreach efforts of the Zoo. Matching Gifts allow individuals to give twice as much by having their employer match their pledged amount. Bequests can be as simple as naming the Henry Vilas Zoo in your will. For example, “I hereby give, devise, and bequeath to the Henry Vilas Park Zoological Society the amount of $___ for its exempt purposes.” A bequest can consist of property, securities, real estate, cash or anything else of value. Charitable Trusts have many advantages. This versatile planned gift allows for an immediate charitable tax deduction and continues to earn income for the rest of the donor’s life. Corporate Partnerships allow companies to make significant financial contributions, while receiving a variety of benefits like tax breaks, increased visibility and more. Henry Vilas Annual fund is vital to the Zoo’s survival. Because these gifts are unrestricted, the fund can be used to meet some of the Zoo’s most critical needs. For all donations, bequests and charitable gifts to the Friends of the Zoo, the proper legal designation is as follows: Henry Vilas Park Zoological Society, Inc. 606 S. Randall Ave. Madison, WI 53715 Tax Identification Number 39-6077008 If you are considering leaving a legacy at the Zoo, you can contact the Friends of the Zoo office at (608) 258-9490 for any additional information. From all the animals great and small at the Henry Vilas Zoo, thank you for your generous support. You are helping sustain the legacy of the living world at our wonderful, free Zoo.
