Philanthropy In 2020, 4,393 generous donors supported our animals. The SPCA relies on donations to purchase much-needed equipment, hire top-notch staff, and provide crucial programs and services to the community. None of the work we do would be possible without the various forms of giving we receive. Ways you can give include donating to our Rummage Store, making a monthly recurring gift, giving in memory/honor of a pet or person, or even just offering a general contribution. You can also sponsor a pet, adopt a kennel or purchase one of our memorial bricks. Whichever way you have offered support in the past or choose to contribute in the future, we thank you and value your gift, as do the many animals helped every day at the SPCA.
Legacy Giving One of the most crucial gifts we receive is a legacy gift — a planned gift that costs donors nothing now but will provide essential support to the SPCA and our programs for years to come. In 2020, legacy gifts made up 6% of our total donations and were vital to our operations, enabling the highest standard of care for thousands of animals in need. There are many ways you can ensure your legacy at the SPCA. You can choose to name us in your will or to bequeath to us a portion of your estate. You can give in the form of stocks, bonds or property, or you can arrange a gift annuity, a trust or the transfer of unneeded life insurance. Please contact us today to learn more about these forms of giving. For further information about making a planned gift, please contact us at development@caspca.org or (434) 964-3320.
