Did you know that there are other
ways to give to the Shelter?
Matching
Gifts
Does the company
you work for offer a matching gift program? Most matching gift programs
match contributions dollar for dollar and some may even double the amount
of your gift! Check with your employer to see if your company offers a matching
gift program.
Charitable & Estate Planning
A gift to Safe Animal Shelter through your will or living
trust is a powerful statement of your support for the Shelter's mission:
to rescue, nurture and restore pets to happy and healthy lives in loving
homes. It may also provide a reduction in your taxable estate. Please
consider gift-giving plans as an integral part of your total estate planning.
We encourage you to discuss these methods with your financial and legal
advisors to determine a strategy that is most appropriate for you.
Bequest
By naming the Safe Animal Shelter in your will, you leave a legacy without
giving up assets during your lifetime. A specific bequest in your will
may help you save on estate taxes.
Living Trust
You (or a beneficiary) receive the income from trust assets, and you name
who will ultimately receive the remainder of the trust assets. Since the
trust assets bypass probate, the terms are private.
Insurance Policy
You may be able to take a charitable donation when you name the Safe Animal
Shelter as beneficiary and assign us ownership of a life insurance policy.
Since the proceeds are removed from your estate, you may benefit from
reduced estate taxes.
Stocks and Bonds
There are no capital gains taxes on the appreciation in value, no second
tax on accumulated earnings by averting a dividend distribution, and you
may benefit from an income tax deduction for the charitable contribution.
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust
Creating a life income gift benefiting the Safe Animal Shelter gives you
an immediate charitable deduction, freedom from investment responsibilities,
and avoidance of capital gains tax on appreciated assets used to fund
the trust.
