Charitable trusts help ensure the future of the animals in Home for Life's care. Receive income for life or transfer property to your children or grandchildren in a tax-advantaged manner.

There are several different types of trusts, each with specific benefits to the donor, to someone the donor designates, or to the charity. At the end of the trust, the remaining assets either go to the charity or revert to the donor's family. The amount of the income stream is either a set amount per year or a percentage of the value of the assets.

Your will is an important element in your estate plan that enables you to protect the people you love, create a lasting partnership with Home for Life®, and help ensure a home forever for unwanted animals. For details about making a charitable bequest see our Charitable Bequests page.

While several organizations have campaigns where supporters can send a valentine, we thought the best Valentine of all to help the animals of Home for Life® would be gifts from our Amazon Wishlist for our cats and dogs.

How about some photos of the Home for Life® dogs enjoying the snow to warm your heart and soul on these chilly winter nights?  And our cats? Blue eyes, catching up with the kittens, snowy cats—see all of the winter photos (Chai above is one of them) from Mark's visit on January 13, 2022, at the sanctuary: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nYNSUWgb3k7xWQc8A
