Pet Project Foundation

Planned Giving

Beneficiary Designation Gifts

Will or Living Trust

Gifts by will or living trusts for the benefit of Pet Project Foundation may be for a set dollar amount, a percentage of the total estate, or the residual amount (funds leftover after all expenses have been paid).

Life Insurance Plan

With respect to life insurance, your needs change over time. The ownership and beneficiary designation of funded life insurance policies can be transferred to Pet Project Foundation. A gift of a current policy may also enable the donor to turn a monthly premium into a tax-free charitable gift.

Retirement Plans

Retirement plan assets (IRAs, 401(k), 403(b), etc.) offer another easy method for planned giving. The funds can be transferred at death to the Foundation by naming Pet Project Foundation as either the primary or contingent beneficiary of the account. As these funds are not distributed until your passing, they are not subject to estate tax or income tax.

Securities or Appreciated Assets

A gift of your securities, including your stocks or bonds, is an easy way for you to make a gift. By making a gift of your appreciated securities, you can avoid paying capital gains taxes that would otherwise be due if you sold these assets.
