LEGACY AND PLANNED GIVING.

Designating Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies (formerly Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter) in your will, trust, or other charitable giving plans allows us to continue to provide lifesaving programs to thousands of animals for years to come. And by doing so, you will become a member of our Friends Forever Legacy Society, made up of individuals who have designated the shelter as a charitable beneficiary in their estate plans.

When creating your estate documents, you can designate your gift as follows:

• Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies (which allows us to use your gift where it is needed most)
• Palm Springs Animal Shelter
• Desert Wildlife Center
• Combination of the above

If you are age 70½ or over, you may transfer up to $100,000 per year from your IRA directly to an eligible charity tax-free. Instead of being taxed as income to you, the animals benefit from 100% of the distribution when donated directly to us. Contact your financial advisor today to facilitate your tax-free IRA gift to Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies.

DONATE APPRECIATED STOCKS, BONDS, OR MUTUAL FUNDS

The same is true of appreciated stock. You can avoid capital gains by donating stock directly to us. No age requirement for that.

RECOMMEND A GIFT THROUGH YOUR DONOR-ADVISED FUND

If you have a donor-advised fund, consider recommending a grant to the Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies. Ask your financial advisor to designate a gift to Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies and, please let us know when you do, so we can say thank-you.

Through your kindness, homeless animals will be given the necessary care they deserve today, tomorrow and always.
