Using the steps listed above (“Five simple steps to name Seattle Humane a beneficiary”), name Seattle Humane as a beneficiary of your retirement plan – it’s a simple way to support our lifesaving work.

Next time you stop by the bank, consider changing the beneficiary on any of your accounts (checking or savings bank accounts, a certificate of deposit (CD), or a brokerage account) to be Seattle Humane. All you need is our name (The Humane Society for Seattle/King County) and tax ID # 91-0282060 to make a lifesaving gift at no cost to you in your lifetime.

Like your retirement plan or bank accounts, funds remaining in a DAF can be distributed to support causes you love – including Seattle Humane. Name Seattle Humane as the “successor” of your account, or you can designate us to receive a portion of your account’s value. These are both simple and powerful ways to change the lives of pets and the people who love them.

If you have bonds that have stopped earning interest and you plan to redeem them, you might owe income tax on the appreciation. That could result in your heirs receiving only a fraction of the value of the bonds in which you invested. Since Seattle Humane is a tax-exempt organization, naming us as a beneficiary means that 100% of your gift will go toward saving lives and completing families every single day.

Using the steps above (“Five simple steps to name Seattle Humane a beneficiary”), name Seattle Humane as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy. Your generosity provides lifesaving care and support to pets and their people.
