Donations and Planned Giving
  • Simply Donate
    All donations are highly appreciated and tax deductible. You can donate through PayPal, through Network for Good, or send us a check to Live and Let Live farm, Inc. 20 Paradise Lane, Chichester NH 03258

  • Wish List
    As you think of a major gift for the operation of the farm or for the animal friends of Live and Let Live Farm, Inc. you may want to look at our wish list below. These are items we need that will directly or indirectly assist with the care of our animals.

  • Memorial Gifts
    A gift in any amount can honor or memorialize a companion animal or human friend. Gifts can be sent for horses, dogs, cats, birds, every feathered, scaled and other furry friends as well as anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, graduations, Christmas and any other holidays or special occasions. These special gifts are acknowledged to the giver.

  • Bequests in Wills
    You can give an outright gift of cash, securities, real estate or personal property and designate it for transfer to Live and Let Live Farm, Inc. You can make a gift of described property, a percentage of your estate, the residual of your estate or a specific dollar amount. Your retirement account can be allocated to Live and Let Live Farm, Inc. where the total unused portion would be passed onto Live and Let Live farm, Inc. Because Live and Let Live Farm is a 501c-3, non-profit, charitable foundation, 100% of this money would pass to the Farm. If it was left to a person, than passed to the farm, it would be taxed.

  • Living Trusts
    In most states, a will must go through a probate process that can often be expensive and time consuming. By creating a revocable living trust you can avoid probate while naming Live and Let Live Farm, Inc. a beneficiary of the trust, much as you would by making a bequest in a will.

  • Life Insurance Policies
    Insurance can often be a fairly inexpensive way for you to leave a sizable gift for the animals. If your existing policy is no longer needed for its initial purpose (such as your children’s education), you can make a gift of it to Live and Let Live Farm Inc., with tax deductions equal to its cash/replacement value. If you are younger, this is a way to “create” a larger gift than you might have thought possible in the future. You can also designate Live and Let Live Farm as the future care giver of your animals that may need placement or permanent retirement and the policy will pay for their care.

  • Retirement Accounts
    Donate your 401k or retirement account to Live and Let Live Farm Rescue. Other than your living spouse or a non-profit 501c-3, whoever you leave your excess 401k or retirement account funds to will be taxed up to 55%. Leave your 401-k or retirement account to Live and Let Live Farm Rescue and the animals will benefit 100% tax free on the rest of your hard earned retirement. Nothing to loose because you use it until you pass, then the rest is given to help benefit the animals of Live and Let Live Farm Rescue.

  • Charitable Life Estate
    Give your home, a farm or even a vacation cabin to Live and Let Live Farm, Inc. now while continuing to enjoy its use for the rest of your life, or the lives of you and your spouse. Live and Let Live Farm does not receive the property until the last tenant has died. This is like leaving the property to us in your will except, by doing so now, your will receive a substantial tax deduction.

  • The “Totten” Trust
    The simplest of all trusts: this is accomplished by simply signing a card at your bank that leaves an account “in trust for” Live and Let Live Farm, Inc.. This action is revocable and the assets of the account are yours for the rest of your life, passing to Live and Let Live Farm, Inc. free of probate time and costs, after your death

  • Donate Stocks and Bonds
    Donate stocks directly to Live and Let Live Farm Rescue stock account and while helping the animals you also will get a great tax benefit. Stocks would be donated at the full face value in which you can write off, no matter how much thier gains were since you purchased them.
                                       
Horses in Need of Medical Attention
We often have horses that need special medical procedures that we can't afford to have treated. Any and all financial donations towards medical care are greatly appreciated.
