Create a Legacy of Compassion for Animals

The future security of our loved ones is often the first thing we think about when planning our estate. But for many of us, our loved ones also include the animals we care so deeply about. Many planned gifts cost nothing today, but they could transform the lives of animals for years to come.

Why Your Gift Matters

By including International Animal Rescue in your estate plans, whether through a Will, retirement account, or charitable distribution, you’ll help ensure that animals continue to be rescued, protected, and cared for long into the future. Your gift could provide treatment for injured wildlife, support rehabilitation programs, protect precious habitats, and give vulnerable animals a second chance at life.

Planned gifts are incredibly important to our work. In fact, over a third of our income comes from gifts left by generous supporters and without them, much of our lifesaving work simply wouldn’t be possible.

One Gift Can Change Everything

International Animal Rescue owes its very existence to one extraordinary act of kindness. In 1988, a single gift left in a supporter's Will enabled us to begin rescuing animals from suffering – that first gift changed everything.

Since then, we've helped end the cruel tradition of dancing bears in India, rescued and rehabilitated orangutans and other primates in Indonesia, cared for injured wildlife in Costa Rica, and protected countless animals and their habitats.

Other ways to give

Give Through Your IRA or Other Assets

A gift in your Will, also known as a bequest, costs you nothing today and can make a powerful difference for animals in the future. If you’re age 70½ or older, you may also be able to make a tax-smart gift directly from your IRA, including as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
