Wills and Bequests

Leave a legacy

Provide a gift that will help transform programs and services and save even more companion animal lives by including the Front Street Animal Shelter in your estate plan. What you put in your will is what people will remember you by. Your will gives you the opportunity to transfer the values that are important to you. One of the best ways to leave a legacy like this is to make charitable bequests in your will.

You can designate the funds by a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the estate.
You can create a trust, which would pay an income to the individual (spouse or relative) for life, with the remaining principal to be given to Front Street Animal Shelter.
A gift without restrictions is usually the most useful because it allows the shelter to apply the funds to our most pressing needs. However, you also have the right to restrict your gift by specifying in your will how the funds are to be used. It is recommended that you speak with the shelter director before designating to a specific program in order to make sure that the conditions are ones that we will be able to meet.

Leave a bequest to the shelter in your will

Legal name: City of Sacramento Animal Care Services, City of Sacramento 2127 Front Street, Sacramento, CA 95818
Tax ID number: 94-6000410

IMPORTANT! Did you know that you could include the Front Street Animal Shelter in your will without incurring the expense of redoing your estate-planning documents? Just include the Front Street Shelter as a beneficiary by writing a codicil to your will or doing an amendment to your trust.

Become a member of the legacy society by naming the shelter in your estate plans

Here are examples of the types of planned gift options:

Bequest -- Remember the Front Street Animal Shelter in your will or living trust.
Charitable trust -- Create income for yourself and transfer assets to use later, or specify a time period to give income to the Front Street Animal Shelter, after which the assets are given back to your family.

You can also donate your home to the Front Street Animal Shelter and retain use of the home for your lifetime.
Retirement plans -- Name the Front Street Animal Shelter as a full or partial beneficiary of your retirement plan.
Life insurance -- Transfer ownership of a policy or make the Front Street Animal Shelter a beneficiary.

Membership is voluntary and without obligation. It is our way of recognizing your remarkable commitment to the Front Street Animal Shelter.
