Leave a
Legacy.
 

Including charitable giving in your estate planning can make a lasting impact on the causes you care most about. Plan for your pet's future and ensure your life-saving legacy with a planned gift to Animal Care League. Please contact us, or read below, to learn more about planned giving opportunities at ACL.
 

Endowment Fund

The ACL Endowment Fund was established to ensure the future of Animal Care League. It is administered by the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation. The principal amount in the fund is invested and only the income is used to support operating expenses. The ultimate goal is to build a large enough fund, using only the interest and dividends earned, to annually support ACL operations in the future. Thus, your donation will work for ACL for generations to come. Email executivedirector@animalcareleague.org to learn more.

 

4 Paws Society

With a planned gift of $10,000 or more to support the homeless animals of ACL, you will become a member of ACL's 4 Paws Society. ACL commits to sheltering the pets of 4 Paws Society members who predecease their animals or are otherwise unable to care for them. When you join the 4 Paws Society, you are taking control of your pet's future and ensuring that they will be provided for and placed in a loving home.

​To ensure that your 4 Paws Society membership is documented and that we are prepared to properly care for your pet, please notify us of your intent to make a qualifying planned gift. You can do so by completing ACL's Declaration of Future Intent form.
