“With the chaos in the world today, it is important to step back and invest in the things that are meaningful to you. Leaving a legacy at Zoo Miami to educate the public about conservation efforts right in our own backyard, while instilling a sense of responsibility in my children has been an absolute blessing.”

-Jose C. Romano, Immediate Past President The Josephine Wolf Legacy Society was first created in the late 1990’s, and was so named after a dedicated champion of wildlife. This society recognizes those who have included a legacy gift to Zoo Miami Foundation in their estate plans. If you want to make a lasting impact at Zoo Miami and join this growing community of leaders, there are a few avenues to consider where you may name ZMF as a beneficiary, such as your retirement plan, life insurance policy, bank account or donor-advised fund. You may also choose to name ZMF as a beneficiary in your will or trust.

To make legacy planning a simpler process, last year, ZMF created an Estate Planning Guide, a complementary tool to help you protect the people and charities you love. This booklet will serve as a valuable resource to help you organize your information all in one place and help save time when you meet with your attorney to prepare your estate.
