Planned Giving

Do you love animals and want to continue to support the SPCA Baccalieu Trail?

Consider being a monthly donor….

Or consider planned giving. 

Planned Giving means you create a charitable gift now that goes to the organization you love in the future, usually when you pass.  A gift from your estate lets you make the gift of a lifetime to a cause you believe in.  All donations help – no matter the size. 

Thank you for thinking about the future and a legacy donation to the Baccalieu Trail SPCA.

When you include a gift to the SPCA Baccalieu Trail in your estate plans, you are helping hundreds of animals in desperate need of shelter, care and compassion. Your legacy will help us provide the necessities of life along with rehabilitation and finally a fur-ever home for these animals.  We will work with the local communities to promote responsible pet ownership and encourage the spaying and neutering of companion animals.

There are many ways to make a legacy gift to our SPCA.  You can also chat with your financial planner or lawyer.

Life Insurance Donation:

Life insurance can be an effective way to help your favourite charity achieve their long-term goals.
