Bequests and Planned Giving

What will be your legacy?

The Humane Society of Rochester and Monroe County for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc., commonly referred to as Lollypop Farm, has been providing homeless, abused, sick and injured animals with humane care since 1873.

By including our organization as a beneficiary of your will, trust, life insurance or retirement plan, you can provide a lasting testament to your love of animals that will help future generations of pets in need. You can also donate securities or real estate. There are many options for planned gifts which may provide you with tax benefits, increase your current income, or provide additional retirement income while reducing income tax and estate taxes. It is important to explore your options so that both you and the animals receive the full benefit of any considered gift.

Including us in your estate plan also qualifies you for membership in our Legacy Society. As a member, you will enjoy invitations to special events and activities, a newsletter, and the peace of mind in knowing your support will literally save pet's lives.
