MEMORIALS: If you would like to donate "In Memory of" a special person or pet, please include their information with your donation.
Including the Bedford Humane Society in your will or trust is a lasting legacy for the animals of Bedford County. Many of our current programs and services have been made possible by people like you who had the foresight to include the Bedford Humane Society in their estate plans.
Ways to give through wills and trusts:
- Leave a specific dollar amount
- Designate that a percentage of your estate be given through your will or living trust.
- Give only the remainder, or residue, of your estate - that which remains after bequests to loved ones have been made.
- Provide for a gift of specific property - for example, real estate, stocks or other items.
You may designate that a bequest be used for general purposes, or go to support any of the Bedford Humane Society's various programs, such as:
- Adoption Center Capital Campaign
- Low-cost spay/neuter
- Trap-Neuter-Release program for feral cats
- Veterinary expenses
To avoid confusion with other organizations, it is important that the language in your bequest adequately identifies The Bedford Humane Society as your intended recipient. The following is suggested language for such a bequest:
" I give and bequeath to The Bedford Humane Society Inc., a 501c3 charitable organization, PO Box 1293, Bedford, VA 24523, Federal Tax ID # 54-1699676, the sum of $_____________, to be used for the accomplishment of its general purposes (or for a specific purpose, as indicated)."
We encourage you to consult with your legal and financial advisors when considering a planned gift.
