Bequests
Bequests
After you have provided for family and loved ones, you can include Talbot Humane in your will for a specific amount or a percentage of what is remaining in your estate. You can also list your beloved late pet on our site so that people may donate in their memory.
Charitable Trusts
You can establish a trust that will provide yourself or loved ones with income for life or a specified number of years. At the end of the term of the trust, Talbot Humane will receive what is remaining in the trust. Setting up a charitable trust will also allow you to receive favorable tax benefits.
Life Insurance
You can name Talbot Humane the beneficiary of a new life insurance policy or you can transfer a life insurance policy that is no longer needed by your family to Talbot Humane. Naming Talbot Humane as beneficiary of a life insurance policy can offer favorable tax benefits and allow you to amplify your gift to the animals. Through a relatively small annual cost of the insurance premium, a benefit far in excess of what would otherwise be possible can be provided for Talbot Humane.
Charitable Gift Annuities
To establish an annuity, you can make a gift to Talbot Humane of cash or appreciated securities. In exchange, you or a loved one will receive fixed payments for life. At the end of the term of the annuity, Talbot Humane will receive the remaining principle. A charitable gift annuity can be funded for as little as $5,000. Beginning in 2010, any taxpayer, regardless of income level, can
transfer a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. Establishing a charitable gift annuity with Talbot Humane can help offset some of the additional taxes you would incur by making such a transfer.
