Planned Giving

A little planning can provide a lot of peace of mind – ensuring the future care of your family, pets, and the causes important to you. Designating WildCat Ridge Sanctuary in your will, trust, or other charitable giving plans allows us to continue providing for all animals in our care for years to come.

There are a number of simple ways to include WildCat Ridge Sanctuary in your will or trust. Adding text, like the statements noted below, will ensure that you are supporting our lifesaving work!

Will/trust text examples for different gift types:

• Specific amount: “I leave (dollar amount) to WildCat Ridge Sanctuary.”
• Specific asset: “I leave my (piece of property) to WildCat Ridge Sanctuary.”
• Residuary gift (ensuring any debts, expenses, and taxes are covered by the estate): “I leave the rest, residue, and remainder of my real and personal estate to WildCat Ridge Sanctuary.”
• Contingent gift (ensuring debts, expenses, and taxes are covered by the estate, and certain criteria are met): “I give the rest, residue and remainder of my real and personal estate to my (relative type), (relative’s name), if he/she survives me. If not, I leave (percent) to WildCat Ridge Sanctuary.”

A gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan, is another way to ensure that any retirement savings you haven’t used during your lifetime will support an important cause.

Because we are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, transferring assets to WildCat Ridge Sanctuary provides significant tax benefits to your estate as well. Ask your plan custodian for a beneficiary designation form, and our cats will receive the full value of your gift.
