If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free donation directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to Henrico Humane Society. This type of gift, called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), not only helps save the lives of homeless pets, but it can also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)—without increasing your taxable income.

It’s an easy and impactful way to support the animals you love while enjoying significant tax advantages. Consult your financial advisor to learn how you can make a difference through a QCD.

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible way to make a meaningful impact for animals in need. If you have a DAF, you can easily recommend a grant to Henrico Humane Society and help us provide lifesaving care, safe shelter, and loving homes for pets who deserve a second chance.

Your gift through a DAF can be one-time or recurring, and it’s an efficient way to maximize your charitable giving while supporting a cause you care about. Simply contact your DAF sponsor or log into your account to recommend Henrico Humane Society as a recipient.

Make a lasting impact on the lives of animals by including Henrico Humane Society in your will or estate plans. A planned gift ensures your love for pets continues for generations, providing rescue, care, and forever loving homes for animals in need.

Whether you choose to leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or another type of legacy gift, your generosity will create second chances for rescued animals long into the future. Please consult your attorney or financial advisor to include Henrico Humane Society in your will or estate plans. Leave a Legacy.
