Join Our Legacy Society

Imagine...

A world where no animal is forced to perform, where factory farms are a relic of the past, and where future generations inherit a planet where animals are treated with dignity and respect. You can be part of creating that future—your legacy can create a world where no animal suffers.

Joining our Legacy Society is one of the most powerful ways to protect animals for generations to come. By including World Animal Protection in your estate plans, you can ensure that your compassion continues beyond your lifetime. 

A Gift in Your Will 

A gift in your will, or bequest, is one of the easiest and most meaningful ways to leave a legacy that helps animals.  

• Flexible: Your will can be changed or updated at any time.   

• Simple: Including World Animal Protection in your will is a quick and easy process.   

• Impactful: Even a small percentage of your estate can make a world of difference.  

You can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a portion of what remains after other beneficiaries are provided for.   

Beneficiary Designations

You can ensure that animals around the world are cared for without changing your will. Naming World Animal Protection as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, or other financial account is a simple way to create a lasting impact.   

• Easy to update: No attorney is needed to update these accounts. You can update your beneficiary form at any time.   

• Tax-Smart: Retirement assets left to individuals may be subject to taxes, but gifts to nonprofits are tax-free.   

• Powerful: Gifting a portion of your 401(k) or life insurance can make a difference without costing you anything now.

If you have already included a gift in your estate plans to benefit the future of World Animal Protection, be sure to let us know so that we may best honor your wishes.
