Types of gifts that can be left to RSPCA NSW

Leaving a gift in a Will is one of the most valuable and lasting ways to support the animals of NSW. There are a number of different ways to include RSPCA NSW, depending on the circumstances.

Residual: the most effective way to support the animals is by leaving RSPCA the whole, or a percentage of the remainder of your estate after you have provided for your loved ones.

Percentage: a percentage of your total estate, allowing your gift to maximise as your estate matures.

Specific: a fixed sum of money or assets, including property, investments or shares.

 

Does your client have pets?

Pets are cherished family members, and it’s important to safeguard their future.   Having a plan in place provides great peace of mind. It secures the health and wellbeing of a pet should its owner become permanently incapacitated or pass away. Family and friends are always the best option, but for some, that option isn’t available. That’s where RSPCA NSW can help. The Home Ever After (HEA) program is a trusted, tailor-made future care plan for beloved pets, should they ever need it.

If your client has pets, please let them know about this program. More information can be found here.

There is no direct cost for the program however, we respectfully ask that your client leaves a gift in their Will to RSPCA NSW to help continue this and other life-saving programs. Our Home Ever After Team Coordinators can be contacted direct on 02 9782 4419 or hea@rspcansw.org.au
