Planned giving helps to fuel HSSW’s mission
At HSSW, we rely on the generosity of donors to continue our mission of helping pets go home again. Planned giving, such as bequests and gifts in, are critical to our ability to provide important services to our community. These gifts provide long-term support, ensuring that we are able to continue helping the pets in our community and the people that love them for many years to come.
We’ve been donating to Acme for years so it just made sense to include them in our estate plan. We love the idea that it costs us nothing now to do so, and shows what we value.

More ways to make an impact
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Popular tax-smart gifts
Many people are increasingly choosing to give non-cash assets, so they can have a bigger impact at less cost to them.
