When developing your estate plan, leaving money to charity rewards you in many ways. It gives you a sense of personal satisfaction, and it can save you money in transfer taxes.  Remembering us in your will costs nothing now, yet it provides for the future of animals in our community.  Leave a lasting legacy by naming AARF PA in your will for a specific amount, for a percentage or all of your estate, or for a portion of what is left after you have provided for your family.

By leaving money to AARF PA when you pass, your charitable gift may be deducted from the value of your taxable estate*.

Make an outright bequest in your will to AARF PA

Make AARF PA the beneficiary of an IRA or retirement plan

Make AARF PA the beneficiary of life insurance
