A Lasting Gift of Compassion

Your Gift Helps BrightHaven Share Hope and Healing

For decades, BrightHaven has been a place of comfort, wisdom, and innovation—for animals, the people who love them, and the professionals who care for them.

Legacy giving is a way to ensure that this work continues long into the future.

A planned gift allows your love for animals to extend beyond your lifetime, supporting programs that bring comfort, education, and dignity to animals and caregivers alike.

Your legacy gift helps sustain:

  • BrightHaven Caregiver Academy, supporting families caring for aging, ill, or special-needs pets
  • Animal Hospice Group, training compassionate animal care professionals
  • The preservation and sharing of the pioneering sanctuary work and teachings of Gail Pope

What Is Legacy Giving?

Legacy giving—sometimes called planned giving—includes simple options such as:

  • Including BrightHaven in your will or trust
  • Naming BrightHaven as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy
  • Making a gift that reflects your values and wishes

These gifts can often be arranged with minimal effort
and without changing your current financial plans.

Additional Ways to Give

In addition to traditional donations, BrightHaven is able to accept gifts of appreciated assets, which may offer meaningful tax advantages for donors. These options may include:

  • Gifts of publicly traded stock
  • Mutual funds
  • Other non-cash assets supported through our charitable giving partners

Many donors choose these forms of giving as a way to make a generous impact while aligning with their financial and philanthropic planning.

If you are considering a gift of stock, mutual funds, or another appreciated asset, we invite you to reach out so we can provide the appropriate information or connect you with the right next steps.

Let’s Talk

Considering a legacy gift is a deeply personal decision. Many people begin simply by asking questions—about impact, values, or what matters most to them.

We would be honored to have that conversation with you.

Whether you are planning for the future or considering a gift now, we are happy to answer questions and explore what feels right for you. If you’d like to learn more, or explore whether legacy giving feels right for you, please reach out via the contact form below.
