Planned Giving
Want to leave a legacy?
With a simple gift that costs nothing during your lifetime, you can make a lasting impact. Every gift is important to us and shows that you share our vision. When you remember High Country Humane in your estate at a minimum of $25,000, you leave a legacy as you help continue our work far into the future.
Why include a charitable gift in your Will?
- It’s an easy way to support High Country Humane. Bequest of every size builds our future financial strength, enabling us to help more animals.
- Tax-wise, it could be beneficial. Gifts to qualified charitable organizations reduce the value of your estate for tax purposes.
- You can change your mind. We won’t receive the gift until after your death. During your lifetime, you can amend anything you choose.
- It’s as simple as including language stating “I give ___ percent of the net value of my estate to High Country Humane.
- One of the greatest benefits of joining the Shelter Sustainers Circle is peace of mind about your pets’ futures. Many pets who outlive their human companions are left to an uncertain fate. But as a member of the Shelter Sustainers Circle, you are eligible to enroll your pets in our exclusive Continuing Care program. We’ll be there to take care of your pet and find them a new, loving family based on your expressed wishes.
What could a gift to High Country Humane look like?
- Give a percentage of your estate – e.g., “I give ____% of the net value of my estate as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes to High Country Humane.”
- Give a percentage of the residue of your estate – the amount left after specific bequests have been given to individuals and organizations – e.g., ” I give ____% of the rest, residue, and a remainder of my estate to High Country Humane.”
- Give a specific dollar amount or item of property – e.g., “I give High Country Humane $____” or “I give High Country Humane 100 share of Apple.”
Let your legacy mirror your passion for the animals in the Communities that we Serve.
- Make the gift unrestricted – it will be used for the top priority need to be identified at High Country Humane.
- Make the gift restricted to support a specific area of interest (e.g., Veterinary Clinic, TNR Community City program).
- Memorialize or honor a loved one: ” This gift is made in memory of my dear friend,___________a supporter of High Country Humane.“
