Make it a goal to help the cause of our big cat sanctuary in Smith County, where you want to make an impact through giving. There are many ways to make a gift to Tiger Missing Link Foundation. Take a look at some of these options designed to help you achieve different goals, and feel free to contact us with your questions.
- Make a meaningful impact on the refuge that doesn’t cost you anything during your lifetime but is priceless as part of the legacy that you leave behind.
- Avoid capital gains liability and take an income tax deduction.
- Leave more of your estate to your heirs.
- Continue to receive benefits back from the assets you give to the refuge, thus multiplying your gift.
- Reduce high tax liability now; gain additional income later.

YOUR STRATEGY

- Use appreciated securities instead of cash to make your gift.

- Establish a deferred gift annuity.
- Create a new life insurance policy or donate a paid-up policy of coverage you no longer need.
