Leaving a gift in your will is a powerful and everlasting way of helping animals in need, healing and homing cats and dogs who have no one else.
A gift in will is easy to set up and contributes to breaking the cycle of suffering street animals in Cambodia, one cat at a time and one dog at a time.
“I used to say: Somebody should do something about that. Then I realized, I am somebody.”
ARC Founder & Director Martina Mayr, inspired by ambassa-dog Henry
By leaving a gift in your will to animal rescue charities like Animal Rescue e.V. in Germany or Animal Rescue Cambodia in Southeast Asia, you give cats and dogs in need a second chance at living the happy and healthy life they deserve!
THANK YOU on behalf of all the animals we can save thanks to you!
7 Great Reasons to Leave a Gift in Your Will
Pets give us so much love, laughter, smiles, and comfort. They’re always there for us. So, together, let’s be there for those animals who have no one else!
1. Leaving a gift in your will or an animal charity or other charitable cause is a great way to be remembered. You can even honor a loved one or a pet by leaving a gift in your will.
2. You have the unique opportunity to leave the world in a better place than you found it.
3. Giving a gift in your will may inspire others to do the same as it shows your loved ones and those around you the importance and rewards of giving.
4. Helping others feels good, doesn’t it? Not only will you help the cause you donate to but also put a smile on your face for helping less fortunate ones! :-)
5. Giving is also a way to show gratitude and remember what’s important in life. Our busy lives can easily let us forget all the beautiful and good things in our lives. Giving to charity is a way to pause for a moment, smell the roses, and express our feelings of gratitude.
6. Finally, there may be financial benefits like tax breaks from inheritance tax when you donate to charity in your will. Your estate advisor can tell you more.
7. Having settled your estate gives you peace of mind and takes the burden off the shoulders of your loved ones to guess the best way of carrying out your final wishes during a time of grief.
Combine charitable donations with your estate planning to make a powerful difference in the world and create a personalized long-lasting legacy!
You’re in Great Company
Did you know that it’s not foundations or companies that contribute the most to charity but individual persons are the largest group to donate money for good causes?
So, if you love cats and dogs, consider a gift to an animal welfare organization in your will! Everyone can do it and every amount transforms precious lives and helps to end suffering.
Here’s How it Works
Leaving a gift in will is easy to do and allows charities to transform lives. Every amount counts. Here are four steps you can take to get started:
1. Consider if and how much of your estate you would like to give to charity.
2. Consult your estate advisor (lawyer, testator, notar).
3. Brief your estate advisor to draft the will. Likewise, you can write your will yourself, just make sure to get it legalized.
4. Depending on your location, Free Wills offers assistance with writing your estate at no cost and in line with the respective legislation. For example, Free Wills UK and Free Wills USA.
Create a lasting impact for vulnerable cats and dogs!
