What is a planned gift?

A planned gift is a donation that is arranged in the present but made at a future time. Planned giving is a way to leave a legacy and support the important causes that matter most to you for years to come.

There are several ways to approach making a planned gift to Safe Hands:

  • Leave a bequest in your will or trust by designating Safe Hands Animal Rescue as the beneficiary of your assets via your will or trust.
  • Designate Safe Hands as beneficiary of your retirement account, life insurance policy, or other non-cash asset to support our work.
  • Make an IRA rollover directly from your Individual Retirement Account to Safe Hands, helping you satisfy your minimum distribution while maxing a tax-free gift to our rescue work.

How do I make a planned gift?

If you are considering a planned gift to Safe Hands, or simply want more information, contact Development Manager Maggiy Emery at maggiy@safehandsrescue.org to find out how your gift can lay the groundwork for lifesaving rescue work for years to come.

Here is some sample language to include in your will or trust to bring to that conversation:
