Gifts received through wills, trusts, and planned giving help to form the financial foundation that makes our mission possible: to educate, advocate and adopt out pets while nurturing the human-animal bond through community outreach and progressive programming. You can make a difference today and tomorrow to help people and pets in need when you make a planned gift.
Begin your legacy with us
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
Report your gift
Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
Non-probate assets
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
This program allows you to plan for your pets’possible future, should you predecease them. It is an extraordinary, and loving thing to do for your pet(s). This program is available to individuals who have included Hinsdale Humane Society in their estate plans.
