When you make a gift to the Humane Society of Sedona in your estate or long-term financial plans, you help ensure that we’ll be here—committed to the welfare of animals—for many years to come.

A monetary legacy gift from your estate allows you to enjoy the benefits of a gift to charity while making a powerful statement about your love for animals. Remembering the Humane Society of Sedona will ensure that we have the funds to continue our lifesaving work in sheltering and re-homing animals.

The pets in our community need your help and we hope you will consider the Humane Society of Sedona in your will and estate planning.

ENDOWMENT

No one likes to have to think about planning for the last years of their life, but we all have to face this task at some point. When you begin the process, don’t forget to include your pets in your estate plan as well as your favorite local charities. A monetary legacy gift from your estate allows you to enjoy the benefits of a gift to charity while making a powerful statement about your love for animals. Remembering the Humane Society of Sedona will continue your legacy of support and ensure we have the funds to continue our lifesaving work in sheltering and re-homing animals. Your donation may also be invested wisely in our new Endowment Fund held by the Arizona Community Foundation. Work directly with them to make a planned contribution by contacting Jennifer Perry at 928-399-7218 or jwperry@azfoundation.org
