Planned Giving

Where there is a will, there is a way

You’ve devoted your life to loving and caring for animals. You can now consider a gift that will sustain AARF’s life-saving mission and help generations of animals long after you are gone.

Gifts through your Will or Living Trust

A gift to Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation (AARF) through your will or living trust is a powerful statement of your support for our mission to rescue cats and dogs. Below you will find sample language that you can share with your Attorney or Estate Planner. Simply include this language in your estate document and you can be assured that you played a major role in the rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption of needy animals.

“I give to AARF of Winston-Salem, Inc Federal I.D. #56-1932722, 302 Thurston St., Winston-Salem, NC 27103, (the sum of $_____) [OR]____% of the residue of my estate/trust), to be used for its general purposes.”

Gifts through Retirement Plan Beneficiary Designations

Naming AARF as the beneficiary of all or a portion of your retirement plan is a simple way to help our needy animals. Simply designate AARF as beneficiary or contingent beneficiary of an IRA, (401 (k), 403(b), Keogh account or other qualified retirement plan. Upon your death, the designated portion of the unused balance in your account will be transferred to AARF.  

When a retirement account is left to a charity, the organization does not pay the income tax (or, if applicable, estate taxes) that might otherwise be due if left to an individual beneficiary. Making a gift requires merely completing a change of beneficiary form, which may be obtained from a plan administrator. Here is the information you need to name AARF as your beneficiary:

Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation, Inc.
302 Thurston St.
Winston-Salem, NC 27103
Tax ID #56-1932722
