Donating appreciated stock is a simple, tax-smart way to make an even greater impact for homeless animals. By giving stock that has increased in value, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes while also receiving a charitable tax deduction, allowing more of your gift to support our mission. A gift of stock is an investment in second chances, giving homeless pets the care they need today and hope for a brighter tomorrow.

A gift from your donor-advised fund (DAF) is a convenient and meaningful way to support homeless animals in need. If you have established a donor-advised fund, you can recommend a grant to our shelter and make an immediate difference in the lives of the pets we serve. Your DAF gift helps give vulnerable animals the second chance they need to thrive.

If you are age 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA is a meaningful and tax-smart way to help animals in need. By making a gift directly from your IRA, you may be able to reduce your taxable income while satisfying all or part of your required minimum distribution, if applicable.* A QCD is a simple way to turn your retirement savings into hope, healing, and second chances for the animals in need. *You are required to take an RMD (required minimum distribution) at age 73.

A charitable gift annuity allows you to support homeless animals while providing a reliable source of income for yourself or a loved one. In exchange for your charitable gift, you can receive fixed payments for life, and you may also enjoy valuable tax benefits. When the annuity ends, the remaining funds are given directly to Lollypop Farm. A charitable gift annuity is a meaningful way to create lasting security for yourself while leaving a legacy of compassion that will help animals for years to come.

Donating real estate is a generous and impactful way to support homeless animals while potentially receiving significant tax benefits. Whether you choose to give a home, land, vacation property, or other real estate, your gift can help provide the resources needed to care for animals who are waiting for loving families. Proceeds from the property sale help fund critical, life-saving programs at Lollypop Farm. A gift of real estate is a lasting investment in our mission, creating hope and second chances for countless animals for years to come.
