Overview

The ASPCA Legacy Society was established to recognize and thank those who have made a planned gift by participating in our Charitable Gift Annuity Program or have provided for the ASPCA in their estate plans. Through their thoughtfulness, they have made a timeless commitment to continue the work of Henry Bergh who founded the ASPCA in 1866 to combat animal cruelty.

How to Join

The following types of commitments qualify you for membership in the Legacy Society:

• a bequest provision in your Will or revocable trust;
  
• a life-income gift that names ASPCA as a remainder beneficiary, such as a charitable remainder trust, or a charitable gift annuity,;
  
• a charitable lead trust that provides income to ASPCA for a donor’s lifetime or a term of years;
  
• a gift or assignment of qualified retirement plan assets, such as an IRA, 401(k) or 403(b);
  
• a gift of life insurance;

If you have already included the ASPCA in a bequest or other planned gift, we hope you will let us know.. Your willingness to be listed as a member of the Legacy Society encourages others to follow your example. We acknowledge and respect those who wish to remain anonymous, but we urge you to let us know of your plans on a confidential basis in any case. It supports ASPCA’s planning for the future. Of course, if you have not yet included the ASPCA in your plans and you would like to explore the best options for you and your family, do not hesitate to contact us. We would be glad to assist you on a confidential basis and without any obligation.
