Ways to Support PIN in the Future
When planning for the future, there are many ways to support our mission while still ensuring that your loved-ones are provided for. To help you decide which option is best for you, we have outlined some of the most popular and simple ways to make a planned gift to PIN.
Include Pets In Need in Your Will or Living Trust
When writing your will or living trust, you can utilize the following sample language to support the prosperity of future animals in PIN’s care:
“I hereby give [percentage of residue/pecuniary amount] to Pets In Need, a charitable organization, Redwood City, California, federal employer identification number 94-6139667, for its unrestricted purposes.”
Designate PIN as a Beneficiary on Your IRA, Retirement Plan, or Life Insurance Policy
To make this type of gift, you will simply need to:
Request a change-of-beneficiary form from your retirement plan administrator, insurance company, or financial institution.
Allocate a percentage from 1-100 that you would like PIN to receive.
Return the form to the appropriate administrator or representative.
If you have any questions or would like to speak further about your gift, please email development@petsinneed.org or call (650) 421-2268. You may also fill out the contact form and a representative will reach out to you within 48 hours.
