Leave a Legacy of Compassion
Including the Quad City Animal Welfare Center in your estate planning allows you to make a profound and lasting impact on the future of our life saving programs. It also ensures that your generous spirit will continue to help us rescue and re-home countless animals in need.
When naming the QCAWC in your will, you may leave a specific dollar amount, set a percentage of your estate, or a particular property. You may also name the QCAWC as the beneficiary of your retirement pan, life insurance policy, bank account, mutual fund, charitable remainder trust, or charitable lead trust. Each of these options may help you reduce your estate taxes. Quad City Animal Welfare Center is a DBA (Doing Business As). Our legal name is the Humane Society of Rock Island County. Our tax ID number is 36-2952894.
Please let us know if you have included the QCAWC in your estate planning so we may thank you and celebrate your generosity! You may email Patti McRae at patti@qcawc.org or call (309) 787-6830 Option # 2 ext.13.
Friends of the QCAWC are encouraged to consult their financial or legal advisers when considering estate planning options.
Gifts of Stocks and Bonds
Donating appreciated stocks or bonds to the Quad City Animal Welfare Center is sometimes more advantageous than gifts of cash. Here's why:
- You avoid paying capital gains taxes when you contribute appreciated stocks or bonds directly to the QCAWC.
- You deduct the full value of the stock or bond as a charitable contribution, saving income taxes and lowering the effective cost of your gift.
- The full value of your gift of stocks or bonds helps the QCAWC and our life saving programs, while you receive a significant tax break.
If you are planning on giving a gift of stocks or bonds to the QCAWC please email Patti McRae at patti@qcawc.org or call (309) 787-6830 Option #3 ext. 13.
Friends of the QCAWC are encouraged to consult their financial or legal advisers when considering estate planning options.
