Planned Giving – Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation

Many kind and generous people like you contribute regularly to support the critical work done by the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation. We are truly grateful for the generosity shown by compassionate people who care deeply about animals.

Fortunately, there are several ways committed donors can ensure that their devotion to animals will continue even after they’re gone. Planned giving opportunities provide ways to leave a lasting mark through the donation of larger gifts that can fund major programs, capital improvements, and other high impact areas while maximizing tax and other financial benefits. They allow the Foundation to prepare for the future, ensure its financial stability, and expand services to animals in need.

A planned gift in a Will can take the form of cash, stock, bonds, real estate, personal property, or other assets. A planned gift is generally defined in one of three ways:

a specific percentage of your estate
a specific dollar amount
or a specific item (i.e., real estate or a painting).

The Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation can also be named as the beneficiary of your Trust, Retirement Plan, Life Insurance Policy, in addition to Financial Accounts, and Cash Accounts.

To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.

Please consider leaving your legacy for the animals by making a planned gift to the Foundation.

Have you already included a gift to the Foundation in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
