Leave a LASTING LEGACY

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Idaho Humane Society’s Designed to be Kind Capital Campaign total jumped up significantly this week.  The IHS Capital Campaign was the recipient of two major bequests together totaling more than $700,000.  The shelter is extremely fortunate to have such wonderful community support.  We are very proud these individuals were so passionate about the important work of the Idaho Humane Society that they chose to leave behind a lasting legacy to benefit the many abandoned pets in our community.  
Planned giving is an excellent opportunity to provide tax benefits for you and your family while still supporting your favorite charity such as the Idaho Humane Society.  There are many ways to help make a brighter future for animals in Idaho and leave behind a lasting legacy.

Here are a few options for making a planned gift:
·         Include the Idaho Humane Society Designed to be Kind Capital Campaign in your will
·         Invest in a Charitable Gift Annuity
·         Create a Charitable Trust
·         Buy an insurance policy and list the Idaho Humane Society as a beneficiary

For more information on these options please click here to check out our planned giving website.  If you have any questions or are interested in making a planned gift please contact Samantha Parrott at sparrott@idahohumanesociety.org or (208)331-8556. 

Your dedication to helping animals is deeply appreciated.  We hope this information inspires you to make a meaningful contribution to the welfare of companion animals today and in the future.  Thanks for your support!
