Create Your Legacy

​     When you make a planned gift to Ape Action Africa, you ensure your own legacy by supporting the future of the gorillas, chimps and monkeys who have captured your heart. 

Your impact lives on
     A bequest in your will or trust is a way for you to make a large, meaningful gift - one that you might not be able to make otherwise - and to make sure that your impact lives on, helping keep these animals safe for decades. It is the best way to ensure that your wishes are known, and it can save your loved ones from probate procedures.

Tax advantages
     Some planned gifts, such as charitable remainder trusts or gift annuities, may offer larger tax advantages as well. Talk with your financial advisor to see if these are right for you.

Honor a loved one
     Many planned giving donors like to make bequests in honor of a loved one. You can also honor a friend or family member by making a memorial gift.   

Join our Legacy Circle
     When you make a planned gift to the gorillas, chimps and monkeys at Ape Action Africa, you join others who are making an impact for decades to come. Many supporters have included Ape Action Africa in their wills, supporting our work as long as these precious souls need us.
