Planned Giving
Making a planned gift to FAPS is a momentous way to carry forward your compassion and

concern for animals. Additionally, this type of giving may help you achieve specific financial goals,

such as reducing or eliminating certain tax liability. We would be glad to discuss any planned

giving option with you - in confidence and without obligation.

Bequests                                                                                                                     

Perhaps the most straightforward planned giving option is to make a bequest in your will.

Regardless of your age or financial status, a will is essential to ensure that your property is

distributed according to your wishes instead of the arbitrary laws of the state in which you live.

Bequests made through your will may take various forms of specific bequests, percentage

bequests, or residual bequests.

A bequest to FAPS is not subject to Federal or estate taxes, and there's no limit on the amount of

the deduction. Most importantly, your bequest to FAPS will help ensure the organization's ability to

provide care and protection for animals in future years. We suggest you consult with an attorney

or estate planner for further details on choosing the best bequest for your situation.

Naming FAPS as a Beneficiary
If you have a life insurance policy that is no longer needed to provide for dependants, consider

making FAPS the beneficiary. This may enable you to make a significant gift to FAPS without

using any of your estate's capital. A further option is to make FAPS both the beneficiary and

owner of a paid-up policy. Doing so will earn you an immediate tax deduction equal to the policy's

cash value. Contact the policy's issuing agent for instructions.

Some assets, such as IRAs, Keogh Plans, and other qualified retirement plans, do not pass

directly through your will and require you to name a beneficiary. Consider making FAPS a full or

partial beneficiary. Such plans can be excellent choices for charitable gifting because they are

taxed more heavily than other assets—sometimes greater than 60 percent. However, by making

FAPS the beneficiary, the full value of the account will pass to FAPS to be used to benefit the

animals.

Gifts of Property or Real Estate
Gifts of appreciated property can be given to FAPS through a donor's will or living trust. The

donor would receive an estate tax charitable deduction for the full value of the property;

however, a qualified appraisal (obtained no earlier than 60 days before you make the gift) is

necessary to substantiate your income tax deduction. Please consult your attorney or estate

planner to obtain the appropriate forms.  Or contact Janene Aul, attorney and FAPS board

member at 910-303-5812, for further information.
