Planned Giving and Special Gifts
Through our endowments, your gift will give and live forever. Your gift will have an enduring effect on the work of countless grassroots animal advocacy groups around the United States that are working hard to build a world of compassion - a world where animals can live free of pain, fear and suffering.

Planned gifts are donations to NEA through estate bequests or other long-term gifts. There are several ways to give, including making NEA a beneficiary of a trust, a life insurance policy, a retirement plan, or a Last Will and Testament.

Life Insurance Policies and Retirement Plans
You can designate NEA as a beneficiary of all or a portion of the proceeds from your life insurance policy or retirement plan. Because NEA is a 501(c)(3) charitable, nonprofit organization, these gifts are generally exempt from federal estate tax and fall outside of the probate process. Beneficiary designation forms vary, but please:
  • List our full legal name, “National Endowment for the Animals Inc.” as your beneficiary
  • Note our federal tax identification number: 45-0490976
  • Note our permanent address: P.O. Box 1161, Boulder, CO, 80306
  • List "charity" as your relationship to your beneficiary
Bequests
Bequests from a Last Will and Testament to NEA allow you to choose National Endowment for the Animals as a beneficiary of a portion of your estate, your residual estate or specific assets. Please consult with your attorney or other professional advisor to ensure that your bequest is in compliance with all state and federal regulations. Sample language might read, "I give, devise, and bequeath to National Endowment for the Animals Inc., federal tax identification number 45-0490976, currently headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, the sum of $_____________, (or describe the property or portion of the estate) to be used for its general purposes."

Please consult with your attorney or other professional advisor because tax laws may vary in your state or country.
