| 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.
