A Planned Giving Newsletter from Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation

AUG 2023

In this issue of our Planned Giving newsletter, we share the benefits of establishing a charitable gift annuity to ensure you don’t outlive your assets and the importance of notifying your beneficiaries to help preserve your intentions.

I hope you also enjoy learning about how Georgian Wavle’s passion for birding compelled her to leave a legacy gift to Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation (TPWF). Keeping in mind Georgian’s lifelong love for birds, TPWF decided to use some of her bequest to help place a conservation easement on a 295-acre ranch in West Texas that is rich in bird life so that her love of birds will forever live on.

Thank you for your continued support,

As she considered estate planning in her later years, Georgian decided to leave her wealth to meaningful causes, which included a significant gift to Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
