A legacy of compassion
Let your love for animals live on
"Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others."
Booker T. Washington
By including the Humane Society of Monroe County in your will, trust, or other financial plan, you extend your compassion beyond your lifetime and help homeless animals find forever homes.
Your accountant, estate attorney, financial planner, or tax advisor can help structure a gift that fits your goals.
About charitable remainder trusts
A charitable remainder trust may work well if you want to donate appreciated assets, receive an income tax deduction, and reserve income for yourself or loved ones. Ask your advisor whether a CRT is appropriate for your situation.
