Leave a gift in your Will
After you’ve looked after your loved ones, leave a lasting legacy by including a gift in your Will for Save the Kiwi.
Leaving a legacy for kiwi
The kiwi is so important to New Zealanders that we’ve named ourselves after this quirky flightless bird. But most Kiwis have never seen their namesake in the wild, let alone behind glass.
Save the Kiwi is on a mission to create safer habitat for kiwi and rebuild kiwi populations all over Aotearoa. When you leave a gift to Save the Kiwi in your Will, you ensure future generations will always be able to hear the call of wild kiwi from their backyards.
Will you join the cause to take kiwi from endangered to everywhere, and leave a lasting legacy for future generations?
A gift in your Will will keep saving kiwi long into the future

How to structure your gift
One-off donation
As part of your estate, you could choose to leave a one-off gift, e.g. $5,000 or $20,000, to Save the Kiwi. Your generous gift would be directed to the work where it was needed most at that time.
Percentage of your estate
Alternatively, you could choose to leave a percentage of your estate to Save the Kiwi, e.g. 2% or 5%.
Donate to the Endowment Fund
Leave your gift to the Save the Kiwi Endowment Fund where it will join other donations invested as capital and left to build over time. Save the Kiwi is able to use a portion of the earned interest annually to fund our work.
