How a Planned Gift Can Benefit You and Make a Lifetime Impact

Did you know one of the special ways you can donate to Dogs for the Deaf is through your estate? You can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.

Planned gifts help generous individuals make larger gifts than they could make from their income. While some planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques to provide for charity and other heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor's estate.

Your Planned Gift can:

• change several lives by turning Under Dogs into WONDER Dogs.
• earn you immediate tax benefits and income through your lifetime.
• achieve personal finance goals, while helping Dogs for the Deaf.
• reduce or eliminate taxes on capital gains and federal estate taxes.
• take care of your loved ones.
