If so, then we invite you to join us in our mission to conserve our national parks forever by making a bequest in your Will to the SANParks Honorary Rangers. By leaving a bequest to SHR, you will be leaving a lasting gift to our planet and to future generations – so that they too may experience elephants, rhinos, and big cats roaming free in the wild and experience unspoilt Africa at its best. Your generosity will help fund vital management and conservation projects to ensure that our children – and our children’s children – can enjoy and be shaped by our national parks as much as we do. What is a bequest? A bequest is a gift that is donated in your will to a registered Public Benefit Organisation, such as the SHR (PBO number 930010091). This gift can be a specified amount, a residual amount (or percentage of your estate), a policy, an asset (such as a property), or a trust. As a South African, or a visitor to South Africa, you no doubt have a passion for the bush, for pristine wilderness, for the beauty of nature and the wild animals that live there, and probably feel passionate about conserving this unique natural heritage for future generations. Types of bequests You can make a bequest by: • Donating a certain sum of money specified in your will. • Donating a percentage of your estate, or the balance of your estate after other provisions (i.e. a residual bequest). • Donating an asset (such as a property, specific shares, artwork, jewellery, or other valuable non-cash items). • Naming the SHR as a beneficiary of an insurance or assurance policy. • Donating via a trust (where there are several beneficiaries). How to make a bequest Update your Will to include a special bequest stating: “I leave [insert description of what is being bequeathed] to the SANParks Honorary Rangers, a voluntary association of persons and a registered public benefit organisation, 930010091, and a non-profit organisation, 086-703-NPO.” Tax benefits A bequest to a registered PBO is exempt from estate duty. Bequests to a trust may also apply for tax deductions if certain conditions are met. With thanks Your bequest will be gratefully acknowledged and will be allocated to vital conservation work in our national parks.
