Legacy Giving

Including Stray Animal Foundation of India (SAFI) in your will is one of the most powerful ways to protect vulnerable street animals for years to come. With a simple gift in your will or living trust, you can provide lifesaving care, medical treatment, and long‑term support for dogs and other animals living on the streets of India.

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify us of your gift.

Leaving a gift in your will, also called a charitable bequest, costs you nothing today but creates lasting impact for the animals you love. After you take care of your loved ones, you can designate a portion of your estate to SAFI to help rescue, treat, and feed street animals who have no one else.

Benefits of including SAFI in your will:

• Continue your love for animals far into the future through a meaningful legacy gift.
• Support a trusted nonprofit dedicated to street animals in India and humane, long‑term solutions.
• Potentially reduce estate taxes while supporting a cause that reflects your values.

Simple ways to include SAFI in your will

You can include Stray Animal Foundation of India in your will or trust in several flexible ways. Talk with your attorney or financial advisor about the best option for you. Common options include:

• A specific amount
  You state a fixed amount of money or a particular asset to be given to SAFI.
• A percentage of your estate

You designate a percentage of your total estate or the residual (what remains after other gifts) for SAFI.

• A residual gift

After loved ones are provided for, you leave “the rest and remainder” or a share of the remainder to SAFI.

Sample language for your will

Here is an example of the kind of wording your lawyer might use to include a gift to Stray Animal Foundation of India in your will or living trust. Please consult your legal advisor to adapt it to your situation and local law.

“I give, devise, and bequeath to Stray Animal Foundation of India (SAFI), a nonprofit organization, [insert a specific amount, percentage of your estate, or description of property], to be used for its general charitable purposes.”

You can choose to leave your gift unrestricted, allowing SAFI to use it where the need is greatest, or you may express a preference such as rescue, medical care, feeding programs, or education, subject to SAFI’s policies.

How your legacy gift helps street animals

A gift in your will to SAFI can:

• Rescue injured, abandoned, and abused street dogs and other animals from dangerous situations.
• Provide vaccinations, sterilization, and vital medical treatment that prevents suffering and disease.
• Fund community education and humane programs that create safer, kinder streets for animals and people.
• Sustain SAFI’s long‑term work so future generations of animals receive the care and respect they deserve.

Even a modest percentage of your estate can translate into real, measurable change for countless animals who would otherwise be overlooked.
