FROM YOUR SUPPORT TO THE WILDERNESS OF KENYA – EVERY CONTRIBUTION MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
When you support the Karen Blixen Camp Trust, you become part of something far greater than yourself. More than just a donation, your involvement creates a direct link to critical conservation work in Kenya’s Masai Mara. The Trust channels essential funding to protect endangered wildlife, combat poaching, safeguard animal welfare, and support education in local communities. Every contribution helps keep rangers in the field, researchers on the ground, and vital programs running. Your engagement builds a powerful bridge between global support and lasting protection of Kenya’s unique nature and its vulnerable wildlife.

THE 70/30 RULE

When including Karen Blixen Camp Trust in your will, you can take advantage of the special 70/30 rule, a unique tax benefit that can significantly extend the impact of your estate—benefiting both your private heirs and our nature conservation work in Kenya.

Here’s how it works in short:
While private heirs (often not close relatives) may have to pay up to 36.25% in inheritance tax, Karen Blixen Camp Trust, as a charitable organization, is fully exempt from this tax. Under the 70/30 rule, the trust receives 30% of the net inheritance you choose to donate and, in return, pays the entire inheritance tax on behalf of your other heirs.

The result?
Your private heirs often receive more after tax than they would if they inherited everything and paid the tax themselves. At the same time, Karen Blixen Camp Trust receives a significant contribution that directly funds our efforts to protect wildlife and ecosystems in the Masai Mara.

It’s a smart and impactful way to ensure your legacy makes the greatest possible difference – for both your loved ones and the wild nature of Kenya.

See the example here:

DISTRIBUTION OF AN INHERITANCE OF $100,000

With Karen Blixen Camp Trust

Your inheritance of $70,000
Tax to the state of $4,600
To Karen Blixen Camp Trust $25,400

Without Karen Blixen Camp Trust

Your inheritance of $63,750
Tax to the state of $36,250
To Karen Blixen Camp Trust $0
A Concrete Example:

Imagine you have an inheritance of $100,000 and no closest heirs.
If the entire amount goes to a niece, she would have to pay up to 36.25% inheritance tax, meaning she would receive only about $63,750 after tax.

If instead, you choose that 30% goes to a charitable organization (Karen Blixen Camp Trust), and the organization pays the inheritance tax, the niece can actually end up receiving almost the same amount—while you also support a cause you care deeply about.

If you are considering using the 70/30 rule in your will, we recommend consulting a lawyer. You are also welcome to contact us — we work with legal experts and can help you proceed safely and easily.

This applies to those who are taxed at 36.25% inheritance tax, such as nieces, nephews, siblings, or close friends. This rule does not apply to direct descendants or parents.
