Legacy Circle
Planned Giving is for Everyone
Making a will is one of the most important ways to extend your love and generosity for your family and friends. It can also help further Young at Heart's mission. By leaving a gift to Young at Heart in your will, you are building a lasting legacy to support senior pets in need now and for years to come. Planned giving is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to make an impact. Gifts of any size are appreciated. Our supporters choose to leave gifts ranging from $1000 to over $1 million in their wills and we honor all of our donors by including them in Young at Heart's Legacy Circle.
The Legacy Circle is our way of showing its sincere gratitude for the compassionate individuals who care so deeply about all animals that they provide for them during their estate planning.
