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.
