Your Legacy, Saving Lives…

People like you, who care about animals, have supported Talbot Humane since 1932. You have enabled us to advocate for and protect all animals in our community. No animal is turned away, and no animal is euthanized due to lack of shelter space. This quality of life for animals and the people who care about them is made possible by scores of generous contributors, many who remember Talbot Humane in their estate plans.

To help sustain Talbot Humane into the future, you may want to consider a donation that complements your own personal financial goals. Planned giving through retirement or estate plans is individualized to conform to your wishes and financial needs, as well as the needs of your family.

What is Charitable Planned Giving?

Charitable planned giving refers to the process of making a charitable gift of estate assets to one or more nonprofit organizations, a gift that requires consideration and planning in light of the donor’s overall estate plan. The most effective way of making a charitable gift is to plan the gift so that it achieves as many personal objectives as possible.
