A world worth living in… for future generations

Every year, thousands of people leave gifts in their wills to their favourite charities and organisations – and for many who want to leave the next generation a world worth living in, WWF is a natural choice.

A browse through our website will leave you in little doubt as to the scale and effectiveness of WWF's programmes throughout the world – but such work involves not only substantial expenditure, but also advance planning.

Legacies are vital to WWF because they enable us to plan ahead and take a long-term view of our conservation, education and communications programmes for the benefit of people and nature. This forward planning also helps us to ensure that the legacies themselves are put to the best possible use for future generations and the natural world.

What is of particular benefit is when the income we receive from legacies is unrestricted. This means that these funds may be used to support all of WWF's work, and we can put your gift to the best use where it is most urgently needed at the time.

We pay tribute to Legators of over £25.000

We are indebted to everyone who has remembered us in their wills, and to friends and relatives who have made memorial donations.
