Planned Giving

The Hamilton/Burlington SPCA has partnered with Willfora, an estate planning tool that allows our supporters to create a free legal will.  Ensure that your wishes are honoured and your loved ones are cared for.

Ensure love and care for your pets beyond your lifetime with this program which designates the HBSPCA to place them in loving homes and continues your impact by improving the lives of all the animals in our care.

By naming the HBSPCA as a beneficiary on your RRSP, RRIF, TFSA, or other assets, you can give a bigger gift than you might have thought possible and leave a lasting legacy for the animals.

A life insurance policy could be a way to contribute a larger amount later. Life insurance policies are often more affordable than donating a similar sum in cash, but they can provide charities with substantial financial support in the future.

The Hamilton/Burlington SPCA can accept different types of securities, including publicly listed shares, bonds or mutual fund units which are a tax-efficient way to give, allowing you to make a larger impact while minimizing your tax burden.

We value our partnerships with professional advisors.  Please utilize these tools when assisting your clients with their charitable goals and contact us for additional support or information.

It helps us to honour your wishes if we know ahead of time why you decided to make a gift to us and the way in which you do or do not wish to be acknowledged.

Legacy Stories celebrate incredible individuals whose bequests have had a lasting impact. Their generosity plays an enduring role in that we can continue to provide shelter, care, and advocacy for homeless pets and animals in need.

As a non-profit organization, the HBSPCA relies significantly on fundraising to carry out its vital work, including gifts that people have included in their estate planning.  Your gift will have an impact as we continue our work into the future.
