Wills and Estate Gifts
Make a Lasting Impact with Your Legacy
At the Saskatoon SPCA, we rely on the generosity of our community to provide care and shelter to countless animals in need. One meaningful way to support our mission is by including a gift to the Saskatoon SPCA in your will or estate plans. Your legacy can make a significant difference in the lives of animals for years to come.
Why Consider a Gift in Your Will?
Including the Saskatoon SPCA in your will ensures your compassion for animals continues beyond your lifetime. Estate gifts provide vital funding that helps us rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for abandoned and neglected animals.
These gifts can also support our education and outreach programs, ensuring a brighter future for animals in our community.
Types of Gifts
Specific Bequest
Designate a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate, or particular assets such as stocks or property to the Saskatoon SPCA.
Residual Bequest
After all other bequests and expenses have been paid, the remainder of your estate can be gifted to the Saskatoon SPCA.
Contingent Bequest
Name the Saskatoon SPCA as a beneficiary if other named beneficiaries predecease you.
How to Include the Saskatoon SPCA in Your Will
Consult with Your Legal Advisor: Talk to your lawyer or estate planner about your wishes. They can help you structure your bequest to maximize its impact.
Use Our Legal Name: Ensure your will includes the correct legal name and charitable registration number of the Saskatoon SPCA:

Charitable Registration Number: 11914 1327 RR0001
Specify the Type of Bequest: Clearly outline the type of gift you wish to make (specific, residual, or contingent) and any specific purposes you want the funds to support.
Notify Us: While not required, letting us know about your planned gift can help us plan for the future and ensure your wishes are honoured.
Benefits of Making a Planned Gift
