A charitable bequest is a meaningful way to create a lasting legacy by including a gift to a charity in your Will or Revocable Trust. You may update your estate plans at any time to include a charitable bequest, and if your circumstances or wishes change, you retain full flexibility to revise or remove that provision during your lifetime, as long as you have the capacity to make financial decisions.
The charitable bequests we receive from our donors play a vital role in sustaining Fix Georgia Pets’ mission of caring for and protecting Georgia’s cats and dogs—today and for generations to come. These future gifts help ensure that vulnerable pets continue to receive lifesaving care and a chance at a loving home.
There are several common ways donors choose to make a bequest to Fix Georgia Pets:
• A percentage of your estate
• A specific dollar amount
• The remainder (or “residuary”) of your estate after other commitments have been fulfilled
