Legacy Donating
Leaving a legacy gift is a powerful way to ensure your love for horses continues to make a difference for years to come. By including our equine rescue in your will or estate plan, you're providing a lifeline for horses in need, helping us cover everything from daily care and medical treatments to safe shelter and rehabilitation. Your thoughtful contribution guarantees that our work of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming horses will endure, creating a brighter future for generations of equines.
Your support can be structured in a variety of ways:
Bequests: Designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular asset (like real estate or stock) to be donated through your will.
Beneficiary Designation: Name our organization as a beneficiary on your retirement account (like an IRA or 401k), or on a life insurance policy.
These types of gifts often come with tax benefits for your estate and, most importantly, they allow you to leave a lasting mark on the lives of horses who need it most.
How to Make a Legacy Donation
To make a legacy gift, you can simply include our organization in your will. Here is some sample language you can adapt to your specific situation.
"I give, devise, and bequeath to the White Bird Appaloosa Horse Rescue, a not-for-profit organization, EIN #16-1650231, located at 1688 Burkes Tavern Road, Burkeville, Virginia 23922-3215, the sum of [dollar amount] (or a description of the specific asset), to be used for its general purposes."
We recommend seeking advice from a qualified professional to ensure your wishes are carried out exactly as you intend.
We appreciate the seriousness of such a decision and are willing to discuss the implications especially if you have horses that will need to be part of the legacy.
