Endowments & Bequeaths for the Orca
If you would like to support orca research, conservation and rescues through a gift in your Will, your support will make a genuine difference and we thank you for your generosity. The Orca Research Trust (ORT) relies solely on donations and does not receive any funding from the Government. All of our research and rescue teams are volunteers. Leaving a gift to the orca is a way to provide a legacy that will help future-proof the work that ORT conducts.
There are a variety of ways to leave a gift in your Will to the orca, depending on what suits you best and therefore it is important that you speak with your family solicitor/lawyer (or reach out to an entitiy such as the Public Trust or Perpetual Guardian Trust), to ensure your wishes are properly recorded. Once again, thank you for caring about the orca and supporting our work.
