Ohio's Leading Voice for the Animals
Legacy and Planned Giving
Creating a lasting legacy for animals in need is a noble endeavor, and including the Ohio SPCA in estate planning can make a significant impact. By choosing to support the Ohio SPCA, you're ensuring that animals receive the care and compassion they deserve long into the future. Your gift will help provide shelter, medical care, and love to countless animals who rely on our organization. Together, we can create a brighter future for all creatures great and small.
Not only can you support the work of the Ohio SPCA, but you can accomplish your own financial goals with planned giving.
Bequests
Bequests are made by including language in your will or living trust that leaves a portion of your estate to the Ohio SPCA. They are generally revocable, which means you can change or modify them at any time with the help of your attorney, if you so choose.
IRA Charitable Rollovers
If you are 70.5 or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit Animals’ Angels and receive tax benefits in return. Rather than simply take an IRA withdrawal this year, you can direct your IRA administrator to distribute a gift from your IRA directly to Animals’ Angels, without having to pay income taxes on the money as you would be required to do.
Beneficiary Designations
Beneficiary Designations allow you to name Ohio SPCA as a beneficiary of an IRA, 401(k), qualified retirement plan, life insurance policy, or other financial instruments. These gifts are put into place by filling out a simple form and don’t require the assistance of an attorney.
If you are like most people, you probably won't use all your retirement assets during your lifetime and the balance can greatly benefit Ohio SPCA. You may also name Ohio SPCA as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy through your employer or through your personal policy.
Donate Stock
The Ohio SPCA has partnered with StockDonator, a simple online application used to donate stocks to your favorite non-profit organization. Use StockDonator to stay updated about the status of your donation, print donation receipts and track your donation for tax purposes. The site is free for donors to use.
