Make a Lifelong Impact
Through a Life Insurance Gift
Donating through a life insurance is a meaningful way to support Fuzzy Friends Rescue’s mission to save animals. By designating Fuzzy Friends Rescue as a beneficiary of your policy, you can leave a lasting legacy without impacting your current finances. Whether you choose to give a portion of your policy or the entire amount, your thoughtful gift will help provide medical care, shelter and a chance for every animal to find a loving forever home.
Benefits of Donating Life Insurance:
• Significant Contribution Without Immediate Cost:
Making Fuzzy Friends Rescue a beneficiary allows you to make a substantial gift while preserving your current assets for other needs.
• Flexible Options:
You can choose FFR as the primary or contingent beneficiary for a percentage or specific amount, giving you control over your legacy.
• Easy to Arrange:
Simply contact your life insurance provider to update your beneficiary information and complete our contact form for any additional details or support
By including Fuzzy Friends Rescue in your life insurance plans, you help insure that more animals receive the care they need, both today and in the future. Your legacy will live on in the lives of the pets you help save.
Suppose you have a $100,000 life insurance policy and decide to include Fuzzy Friends Rescue as a beneficiary. There are a few ways you could structure your planned giving.
I. Naming FFR as the Primary Beneficiary: You could designate FFR to receive the full $100,000 upon your passing. This would provide significant resources for the rescue to fund any medical care, food, and shelter for many animals.
II. Designating a Percentage: You might choose to leave 50% of the policy ($50,000) to FFR and the other 50% to a family member. This way you can support the rescue while still taking care of your loved one.
III. Using a Contingent Beneficiary: You could name a family member as the primary beneficiary and FFR as the contingent beneficiary. In this case, if the primary beneficiary is no longer living at the time of your passing, FFR would receive the policy’s proceeds.
IV. Donating an Existing Policy: If you have a paid-up life insurance policy that you no longer need, you could transfer ownership to Fuzzy Friends Rescue. This allows you to make an immediate impact while potentially qualifying for a charitable tax deduction based on the policy’s cash value.
