Dear Jack,

We know that planning for the future isn't always easy to think about. But it can also be deeply meaningful, especially when you're ensuring that the causes you care about will continue to thrive.

If you've ever considered leaving a gift to Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit in your will or estate plan, we want you to know just how simple it can be.

Three Easy Ways to Leave a Legacy:

1. Include Us in Your Will or Trust
A bequest is one of the most common forms of planned giving. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other gifts have been distributed. Your attorney can help you add this language to your will.

2. Name Us as a Beneficiary
You can name Friends for Animals as a beneficiary of a retirement account (like an IRA or 401(k)), life insurance policy, or bank account. It's often as simple as filling out a beneficiary designation form, no lawyer required.

3. Give Through a Donor-Advised Fund or Charitable Trust
If you have a donor-advised fund or charitable remainder trust, you can name Friends for Animals as a beneficiary or recipient, allowing your gift to support animals in need while potentially providing you with tax benefits.

No matter the size, your legacy gift will have a lasting impact. It will help us continue to rescue, protect, and find loving homes for animals who need us most.

If you have questions or would like to discuss how to include Friends for Animals in your estate plans, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to provide the information you need.
