Continue Supporting Animal Welfare Even After You’re Gone.
Legacy Donation Program
Your love for animals can make a difference for generations to come.
By including the Morongo Basin Humane Society in your estate plans, you can leave behind more than a gift—you can leave a legacy of compassion, kindness, and hope for animals who have nowhere else to turn.
Your legacy gift will help provide homeless dogs and cats with the care, safety, and second chances they deserve. It helps us continue our commitment to a no-kill community where every animal has the opportunity to find a loving home.
There is no greater gift than knowing your love for animals will continue to make a difference long after you’re gone.
From our Board, staff, volunteers, and especially the dogs and cats who depend on us, thank you for considering a Legacy Gift to the Morongo Basin Humane Society. Your kindness can become part of their story—and their future.
How to Make a Legacy Donation
Your legacy can take many forms, each offering its own way to contribute to the ongoing mission of the Morongo Basin Humane Society, which operates the Joshua Tree No-Kill Shelter. Here are some of the ways you can include us in your legacy planning:
- Wills and Living Trusts: Naming the Morongo Basin Humane Society in your will or living trust can be in the form of cash, securities, real estate or other types of property. These bequests can be for a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate, and they can be unrestricted or directed to a specific program or service at the Joshua Tree No-Kill Shelter.
- Retirement Plans: The Morongo Basin Humane Society can be named as the beneficiary of most pension, profit sharing, 401K, IRA, and other retirement plan accounts.
- Life Insurance Policies:The Morongo Basin Humane Society can be named as the beneficiary of a paid life insurance policy. Paid policies are the most effective gift in that neither the donor nor the Morongo Basin Humane Society has any responsibility for making future premium payments.
- Other Assets: A gift of cash or appreciated securities to establish a charitable gift annuity may also be made.
There are also other types of donations such as Charitable Remainder Trusts, Charitable Leads Trusts, and Gifts of Retained Life Interest, and, as with the above-mentioned options, please consult with your plan administrator, financial advisor and/or tax advisor in advance of making this decision.
The legal name of our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is the Morongo Basin Humane Society. Our Tax ID Number is FEIN 23-7398947.
