planned giving.

Your gifts to California GSP Rescue help us to make the world a better place for the dogs we save.

There are many ways to make a charitable contribution. You can design a gift that honors your philanthropic intentions, while achieving your financial and tax planning goals. Properly planned gifts can also maximize your tax benefits. Whatever your gift might be, large or small, know that it is deeply appreciated and will be used exclusively to continue our mission to find forever homes for the dogs we save.

Life Insurance

When your life insurance was originally purchased, you obviously had a need for the benefits. Perhaps today you don’t need the coverage. To contribute your life insurance policy, simply name California GSP Rescue as its owner and beneficiary (You can also name California GSP Rescue as beneficiary only, or partial beneficiary).

Other giving options include the following:

  • Charitable Gift Annuities

  • Charitable Lead Trusts

  • Charitable Remainder Trusts

Living Trusts

When you choose a living trust, you can provide for yourself and your family before and after your death. You can arrange a contribution through a living trust by naming California GSP Rescue as a beneficiary.

Retirement Plans

You can name California GSP Rescue as beneficiary of your pension, 401K, IRA or other retirement plan. This gift could be the most cost-effective that you can make, because you avoid the possible double taxation on retirement plan assets left to your heirs.

Real Estate

Your charitable contribution of real estate – a personal residence, farm, vacation home, commercial real estate or vacant land – is a tax-wise gift that has income and capital gains tax advantages. By choosing an option called “Retained Life Estate” you can give your personal residence to California GSP Rescue and still maintain lifetime use of the property.

Cash

Cash contributions are a quick and easy way to show your support of California GSP Rescue. Simply write a check or make a cash donation. If your employer has a matching gifts program, you could double or even triple your donation to All About Animals Rescue. We will provide you with a receipt for tax purposes.

Securities

Contributions of stock or other securities are a welcome gift at California GSP Rescue. If you contribute appreciated securities that you have held for one year or more, there are potential capital gains benefits.

Bequests

By leaving a bequest to California GSP Rescue in your will, you will make a lasting contribution to help the animals. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your total estate, or a share of the residue after gifts to your heirs.
