What Will Your Legacy Be?
Your future gift will help the Wisconsin Humane Society make a difference for animals and the people who love them.
Commonly called "planned gifts," estate gifts include bequests, securities, charitable trusts, life insurance, retirement accounts and more. Gifts can be revocable or irrevocable, and designated to our most urgent needs or restricted to a specific location or program that is important to you.
With thoughtful planning, you can create win-win solutions for you AND the animals and families served by the Wisconsin Humane Society, and we are here to help. Our team of Philanthropic Advisors are available to confidentially assist you in accomplishing your legacy goals. Estate gifts of every size make an incredible impact!
If you have already completed your estate plans, please let us know by filling out a Buster's Legacy Society Enrollment Form so we may recognize your generous commitment and send our thanks.
We look forward to connecting with you!
