What kind of planet do you want to leave behind for your grandchildren and future generations? Turtles have lived for 230 million years and endured multiple catastrophic mass extinctions but their future is threatened by human-made environmental changes and other threats. Whether your passion for turtles originated in childhood or was cultivated later in life, you can help ensure there are no turtle extinctions so your grandchildren can learn about and preserve turtles for their children and future generations.
Build an enduring legacy for future generations by planning a gift in your will or living trust. It’s as simple as sharing this sentence with your attorney or financial planner:

Transfer a Gift from Your IRA – Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). The Pension Protection Act of 2006 gives those at least 70½ years of age the opportunity to make tax-free charitable gifts from IRA funds, including the minimum required distribution. Please also consider making Turtle Survival Alliance a full or partial beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan.
Non-probate assets—such as an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any additional accounts—need to be planned separately. Using an online tool, you can log all of your assets, name Turtle Survival Alliance as a beneficiary and receive printable instructions on how to set each one with your broker.
Many companies offer matching gift programs that increase the value of your donation—often doubling or even tripling your support. Matching gifts are a simple way to make your contribution to Turtle Survival Alliance go even further, at no additional cost to you. See if your employer will match your donation!
Support turtle conservation straight from your paycheck. Payroll giving (also called workplace giving) makes it easy to support Turtle Survival Alliance every time you’re paid. With this convenient option, you can choose to have a set amount or percentage of your salary automatically donated to TSA before taxes are deducted — creating a tax-efficient, automatic way to give back to the world’s most threatened turtle species.
Many companies now recognize the value of community service and offer programs that directly support the places their employees volunteer. Through these volunteer reward programs, your employer may make a donation to Turtle Survival Alliance in recognition of the hours you spend helping protect endangered turtles.
Some employers also provide Volunteer Time Off (VTO)—paid hours or days you can use specifically for volunteering. It’s a great way to get involved, give back, and have your time in the field or at events translate into even greater impact for turtle conservation.
