Legacy Giving with CPAWS is an incredibly meaningful way to to turn your passion for conservation into a lasting gift —one that will benefit your family, friends, and community for generations to come. With your support, we will continue to work tirelessly, on your behalf, to protect Southern Alberta's most valuable resources: its wild lands, wildlife, and clean waters.

Planning a legacy gift is also an effective way to support conservation in Southern Alberta without affecting your current finances. This kind of giving can provide tax benefits and help you achieve your financial goals—all while making a difference for a cause you believe in.

Legacy gifts include both outright and deferred gifts: 

• Outright gifts, such as securities or mutual funds, are structured to reduce taxes on capital gains while maximizing tax benefits.

• Deferred gifts, such as bequests or life insurance policies, allow you to make a commitment now, with funds going to CPAWS at a later time.
