For those of us who love animals, what more meaningful legacy could we leave than a gift which ensures compassionate care for animals in need? Planned gifts to the Butte Humane Society, such as a bequest in your will or trust, help to secure the future of our donor-supported safe haven for animals.
Every gift, large and small, makes a difference – and there are many options for making a planned gift.
As you work with your attorney or estate planner, consider making a charitable contribution to the Butte Humane Society in one of the following ways. Our Tax ID is 94-1580621.
|
Bequest A designated gift in your will or living trust is perhaps the simplest form of planned giving and is most commonly used. |
Non-probate Assets 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. |
|
Retirement Accounts Designating Butte Humane Society as the beneficiary is an excellent way for you to make a gift to us, using an asset that otherwise might be heavily taxed. |
Charitable Remainder Trust The income from the trust is donated to Butte Humane Society during your lifetime. After your lifetime, the trust assets, pass without further tax to your heirs. |
|
Life Insurance Donating a fully paid, existing life insurance policy or a policy that is not fully paid, provides you with a current charitable income tax deduction. |
Life Estate Gift You may irrevocably transfer the ownership of a home or farm to Butte Humane Society and retain the right to occupy the premises for the rest of your life, and receive an immediate charitable tax deduction. |
