Make A Difference!!

Thank you for your interest in learning how you can help make a difference in finding homeless animals their forever home! Save-A-Mutt is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization and our ‘Foster First’ program puts homeless dogs – puppies to seniors – into foster homes. Once placed with a foster family, those dogs receive socialization, medical care and love! When the dogs are ready, we then search for the best home for that pet. Thanks to generous donors and volunteers like you, we have saved over 4,500 dogs and cats.

Wills, Trusts, and Wagging Tails: Estate Planning with Heart.

Qualified Charitable Distributions

If you have an IRA and are at least age 70 ½, a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) can give you a great way to transfer up to $100,000 to charities such as FCSNP tax-free every year. Normally, distributions from a traditional individual retirement arrangement (IRA) are taxable when received, according to the IRS website. With a QCD, however, these distributions become tax-free as long as they’re paid directly from the IRA to an eligible charitable organization.

And if you’re at least 72, QCDs count toward your required minimum distribution for the year.

Visit irs.gov for more detailed information, and contact your IRA trustee soon if you’d like to set up a QCD before the end of the year.

Bequests

Leave a lasting legacy to help homeless dogs. Consider naming Save-A-Mutt as a beneficiary in your will. A bequest can be made for a certain dollar amount or for a specific type of donation, such as stock or real estate. You may structure your bequest to begin after all debts, taxes and expenses have been paid or to be contingent upon certain conditions. Your estate may be entitled to an estate tax deduction for the full value of a charitable bequest.

You can create a powerful and lasting legacy by including Save-A-Mutt in your long-term financial planning. Because there are many options and tax advantages depending upon each person’s financial goals, we recommend discussing the options of including Save-A-Mutt in your legacy planning with your financial planner and/or estate planning attorney to find a plan that works best for you.
