My suggestion would be to use the money locally. A local project would best reflect what people view Steve's legacy to have been, that is education and conservation. These things are needed everywhere. Find a local educational, rehab, or conservational project for your donations. Such a project will no doubt GREATLY appreciate any help it can get. You will get more donations if you list the target project on the donation jar so people know where the money is going. I am not familiar with wildlife warriors but Steve reportedly left behind personal assets in the neighborhood of 40 million dollars. I do not know what that will amount to after the lawyers and bean counters get through but I expect his family will be financially secure. I imagine their zoo should continue to do well on its own. I do not know its financial structuring but I understand it is progressive and self sufficient.
