Your support for the Macaw Recovery Network (MRN) is essential to protecting endangered Parrots and safeguarding their habitat in perpetuity. By leaving a lasting Legacy, you help preserve these magnificent birds and help grow their wild homes for future generations.
Leave a Legacy for Macaws – Include MRN in your Will or Living Trust to continue your support well into the future. This simple, flexible way of giving allows you to make a lasting contribution while preserving your assets during your lifetime.
Turn your Retirement into a Gift – You can designate MRN as a beneficiary of your retirement account, such as a 401(k) or IRA. These gifts are tax-efficient, as they avoid both income and estate taxes, making them one of the most impactful ways to support our mission.
Giving back while securing the Future – Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRT) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLT) secures a future for Macaws while receiving income for yourself or your loved ones during your lifetime.
Income for Life, Support for the Future – A charitable gift annuity allows you to support MRN while receiving fixed income payments for life. After your lifetime, the remaining funds will help sustain our programs. It’s a win-win way to secure your future and ours.
Transform Property into Purpose – Turn property into powerful support for MRN. Whether through an outright gift, or retaining lifetime rights with a retained life estate, your gift of real estate can make a tremendous difference while offering tax benefits.
A Simple Way to Give More – By naming MRN as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, you can make a significant future gift without impacting your current financial situation. This is an easy way to make a lasting impact on the community we serve.

Flexible and Convenient Giving – Recommend grants to MRN from your DAF and make giving easy. You can enjoy the flexibility of making charitable contributions over time while ensuring that your philanthropic intentions are fulfilled.
Double the Impact of Your Donation – Many employers offer matching gift programs that can double or even triple your donation. Check with your employer to see if your gift to MRN qualifies for a matching contribution, and maximize the difference you make.
Tech-savvy Donations – You may also donate digital currencies or “crypto” through Coinbase here.
Grow Sustainably – Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the concept whereby companies act to balance their economic growth with the sustainable social and environmental development of their areas of operation. Through a partnership with the Macaw Recovery Network, your company has an impact on environments across the Neotropics and we will make sure your brand is receiving that credit.

MRN is proud to partner with the Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN) to facilitate certain donations on our behalf. This partnership allows us to reduce administrative costs and provides donors with more flexible options to make a lasting impact. When you reach out to us about your generous support, please indicate if you have a preference for giving directly to MRN instead of through our partners at WCN.
