More Ways to Give

Create a Legacy Through Planned Giving

Intentional planning of gifts and estates maximizes the benefit to you, your family, and Kaya’s K9s, enabling you to make a lasting impact while tailoring a gift to your unique needs and interests. After-lifetime gifts, such as bequests, and gifts of retirement assets will benefit KK9S without using your current assets or income. KK9S will collaborate with you, your attorney, or other advisers to design the best gift plan for your individual situation.

If you name Kaya’s K9s as a devisee, legatee, or beneficiary, please let us know of your plans. Doing so will enable us not only to show our appreciation for your generosity, but also to include your support in planning for the future of Kaya’s K9s.

If you direct a gift to Kaya’s K9s via beneficiary designation and you wish to direct a particular use for the funds, we will be happy to draft a separate gift agreement that includes your specific instructions.

For more information, please contact Kaya’s K9s at info@kk9s.org Thank you for your interest and support.

Making a planned gift to benefit Kaya’s K9s qualifies you for inclusion in the Kaya’s K9s Legacy Society. This optional membership allows us to express continued thanks for your future gift. 

Wills, Living Trusts, and Life Insurance Policies

A bequest offers you considerable flexibility in making a gift that will last far beyond your lifetime. You can incorporate bequest language into your estate plan (a will or living trust). You also can name Kaya’s K9s on your life insurance policy’s beneficiary designation form. Advantages include:

    • The most common type of legacy gift, a bequest allows you to retain access to your assets during your lifetime while designating future support for Kaya’s K9s.

    • Simple to make and easy to implement, a bequest can comprise a specific item, a dollar amount, or a percentage of your estate.

    • Your estate will receive a charitable estate tax deduction reducing the tax burden on your family.

The following language may aid you and your attorney in preparing your bequest to Kaya’s K9s:

I give, devise and bequeath (specific asset; dollar amount; % of estate; etc.) to Kaya’s K9s, a nonprofit corporation organized in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas for the purpose of supporting veterans and their service dogs. The property comprising this gift may be merged, for investment purposes, with any of the general investment assets of Kaya’s K9s. The distributions from this gift shall be: a) unrestricted, unless directed by a separate gift agreement; or b) used to ... (after consulting with KK9S, include specific gift-use preferences here, and include the following sentence to ensure your gift remains useful in the future.) The gift shall be entered into Kaya’s K9s’ books and records as the (desired name of fund) Fund and shall always be so designated. If, in the judgment of Kaya’s K9s Board of Directors, changed circumstances should, at some future time, render the designated use of this fund impracticable, unwise or inappropriate, then the Board shall use the fund to further the objectives and purposes of Kaya’s K9s, giving consideration to my special interest as evidenced by the purpose

Retirement Account

While most retirement assets carry a heavy tax burden when passed to beneficiaries, these funds are not taxed when passed to a charitable organization, making them an appealing legacy gift option. Advantages include:

    • This giving vehicle allows you to support Kaya’s K9s and avoid heavy taxation on Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) or other retirement accounts.

    • Your retirement assets can benefit Kaya’s K9s in full, and your family can receive other assets that bear less of a tax burden.

    • If your circumstances change, so can your gift.
