More Ways to Make an Impact

There are even more ways to support Animal Rescue Project while making the most of your gift.

Dontate Appreciated Stock

Make an Impact with Tax-Advantaged Giving

Donating appreciated stock is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support our mission of saving at-risk pets.

When you transfer appreciated securities in non-retirement accounts directly to Animal Rescue Project, you pay $0 in capital gains tax on the growth.

$0 in capital gains tax on the growth

To initiate a stock transfer, please contact us at 269-492-1010 to obtain brokerage account information.

Once the transfer is initiated, please notify us at info@animalrescueproject.org so we can properly track and acknowledge your generous gift.

Small gifts. Big Futures.

Give From Your IRA

Make Your Required Distribution Make a Difference

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows retired individuals to make donations directly from their IRA to a qualified charity without it counting toward taxable income. This can help satisfy Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs).

In addition to supporting at-risk pets, utilizing a QCD offers many benefits, including lowering your adjusted gross income and possibly lowering your tax bracket to help you remain eligible for certain tax credits or exemptions pertaining to Medicare or Social Security.

IRA gifts to Animal Rescue Project are eligible QCDs.

Please ensure the check and/or accompanying paperwork indicates it is from your IRA so we know how to acknowledge your generous gift.

Give Another Financial Asset

Your Gift Doesn't Have to Be Cash

There are many ways to support Animal Rescue Project beyond a traditional cash donation. Gifts of non-cash assets can provide meaningful support for our mission and the at-risk pets in our care.

If you are considering donating real estate property, cryptocurrency, other securities, or another type of non-cash asset, we would be happy to discuss your gift and help determine the next steps.

Please call us at 269-492-1010 to learn more.
