Planned Giving
What You Can Give | Legacy Club
Planned giving is a way of helping others and expressing your values—both now and inperpetuity. It can be a flexible and powerful, financial planning tool.
Here are some of the ways you can use your will or estate to perpetuate your support for Can Do Canines. Access our dictionary of commonly used estate planning and gift planning terms.
How You Can Give
Bequests
A bequest to Can Do Canines is a meaningful and relatively simple way to support our work. Your bequest may be for a specific amount or represent a percentage of your estate. Another option is to create a bequest that helps us after you have provided for your family and friends, called a residual bequest.
If you’re ready to leave a bequest to us it’s important to include our correct legal name and address in the bequest papers.

Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity is a gift of an asset in exchange for a flow of income. Today, the concept includes valuable tax benefits for donors. But perhaps more valuable than the financial advantages is the satisfaction you’ll gain by helping us continue our vital work.
Retained Life Estates
One of your valued possessions—your home—can become a valued gift to Can Do Canines, even while you are still living in it, and even if you want your spouse or another survivor to continue living there for life. This arrangement is called a retained life estate.
Wealth Replacement Trusts
You can make a sizable contribution to Can Do Canines
now to help meet our current needs, but without reducing the estate you will eventually pass to your family. A wealth replacement trust can accomplish this goal through the purchase of life insurance.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A charitable remainder trust can help you achieve a number of personal and financial goals. Depending on your circumstances, this plan can increase your income, reduce your taxes, unlock appreciated investments, rid you of investment worries and ultimately provide very important support to our organization.
Charitable Lead Trusts
You can provide an inheritance for your children and also make a significant charitable gift to Can Do Canines through your estate. A charitable lead trust can help you meet both objectives.
