Protecting Pets for Life: Planned giving + pet guardianship with FreeWill

Date & Time: Thu, June 25 at 1:00pm ET

Length: 45 minutes

Who should attend: FreeWill animal welfare & humane society partners

Will a recording be available? Yes

 

For many donors, ensuring a beloved pet is cared for after their lifetime is one of the most emotional and motivating reasons to engage in estate planning. This session explores how animal welfare orgs can leverage a Pet Bequest or Pet Guardianship program to deepen donor relationships, inspire long-term support, and help donors protect the pets they cherish.

 

FreeWill Principal Strategist Catie Martino will be joined by Renee Resko, Vice President of Development at Helen Woodward Animal Center, to explore how their Pet Bequest program opens doors to planned giving conversations, and how they integrate the program into their FreeWill outreach.

 

Join us if you'd like to:

  • Understand why estate planning is so important for donors with pets

  • Learn what a Pet Bequest or Pet Guardianship program is

  • See how other animal partners promote their programs (real outreach examples)
  • Discover how to connect your program to your planned giving strategy

  • Explore how to leverage your program in your FreeWill tools and outreach

Hope to see you there! 🐶🐱
