Types of planned gifts
The MD SPCA can accept many types of planned gifts. Common options include:
- Bequest: Name the Maryland SPCA in your will to receive a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate. You may choose to have your gift support a specific department or program.
- Life insurance policy: Name the Maryland SPCA as a primary or secondary beneficiary.
- Charitable remainder trust or gift annuity: The Maryland SPCA does not directly manage trusts or annuities but works with other financial organizations such as the Baltimore Community Foundation.
- Retirement plan: Name the Maryland SPCA as a beneficiary of unused assets held in an IRA, 401(k), or other retirement account. If you are 70.5 years or older and receive a required minimum distribution, you may be eligible for a tax benefit by gifting your distribution to the MD SPCA
- Stocks and securities: Stocks and securities may be donated during or after your lifetime. Notify your broker or financial institution of your intention to make a gift of stock or securities and ask them to inform the Maryland SPCA of the planned transfer. This will allow us to credit and thank you.
- Other residuals including savings bonds, CDs, bank accounts, brokerage accounts, and donor-advised funds.
Have a Plan for Your Pet
Who will care for your pet if you can’t? We often don’t think of who might care for our pet or share our expectations with personal representatives and executors.
Use our free brochure Planning For Your Future – Caring For Your Pet to get started. It contains answers to commonly asked questions about pet care in estate planning, as well as worksheets to share your pet’s unique habits and needs with a future caregiver. This is not a substitute for qualified legal or estate advice – we encourage you to seek professional assistance when planning your pet’s future.
