Adding Save a Dog to Your Estate Plans: Monthly Giving Wills and Living Trusts Retirement or Life Insurance Beneficiary Legal Details for Planned Giving

MONTHLY GIVING:

Choose a monthly recurring donation if you would like to sustain the impact of your giving across the entire year. Monthly giving is also a great option if it is more manageable for you to donate a small amount regularly rather than making one gift. Your contributions keep our day-to-day operations on behalf of the animals running!

WILLS AND LIVING TRUSTS:

Also known as a charitable bequest, a living trust allows you to make a significant impact through designating a gift in your will. You can make Save a Dog, Inc. a beneficiary of the trust, thereby insuring that your contribution will go directly to the work of rescuing and finding homes for deserving animals in need.

RETIREMENT OR LIFE INSURANCE BENEFICIARY:

Consider making Save a Dog, Inc. a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance policy. This is an easy way to ensure that your gift is part of your estate plan, and beneficiary designations are revocable, should you need to make a change at some point. Quick to set up, beneficiary designations also allow your contribution to come to us tax-free, as charitable bequests are not subject to income tax, so your gift can have the full impact you intend.
