Find the gift that is right for you and Fuzzy Friends Rescue

Qualified Charitable Distributions

Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCDs), also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers, is a great way for individuals age 73 or older to use their IRAs to maximize their charitable impact and by doing so, you can help orphaned pets.

Life Insurance

A gift of life insurance is an excellent way to make a sizable contribution that does not tie up current assets, and that helps ensure FFR’s future. You may make FFR the owner or owner/ beneficiary of a life insurance policy that you no longer need. You may also take out a new policy that names FFR as the beneficiary. The premiums you pay may be tax-deductible, and in time, the value of the policy will far exceed your net contribution.

Charitable Gift Annuity

A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) can provide guaranteed income for life and may provide the mature donor with better yields on fixed income assets, such as CDs and bonds, and reduce portfolio risk. In addition, the CGA may generate a tax deduction and allow remaining assets to be used to support FFR.

Charitable Remainder Trust

A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) gives you the flexibility to design a trust to meet your individual financial goals and provides an income for life. By establishing a Fuzzy Friends Rescue CRT, any remaining account values go to the benefit of FFR to further its mission when the donor passes on. In short, FFR will be providing people with possible tax deductions and income for life, while the donor is leaving a lump sum of money for the animals.

Stock/Crypto Donations

A popular alternative to a cash gift is a gift of appreciated securities, which generate a double tax benefit.  If an investor has an appreciated stock or mutual fund that they purchased more than a year ago, they can donate those securities to a charity and receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities. 

A new way to donate to a charity is by donating crypto.  Fuzzy Friends Rescue is excited to announce that we are now able to accept cryptocurrency donations including Bitcoin, USD Coin, and Ethereum.  

Giving Through Stocks/Crypto

When you include Fuzzy Friends Rescue in your estate plan, your generosity helps save the lives of orphan pets.  
Thank you for ensuring that Fuzzy Friends Rescue can impact those we serve for years to come.

We are honored that you are considering including Fuzzy Friends Rescue in your estate plan to show your love of animals. 

Your gift ensures a legacy of “people helping animals and animals helping people” by providing essential support for all the pets and programs here at FFR.
