August is Legacy Confirmation Month at PETA
For PETA members, compassion becomes action every day, and for members who name PETA in their legacy plans, their compassion lives on. Their generosity fuels undercover investigations that expose cruelty, high-impact campaigns that persuade companies and institutions to adopt animal-friendly policies, lifesaving legislative and legal work, humane education initiatives, and direct rescue efforts for animals with nowhere else to turn. Recently, that support helped change the life of Liora, a dog rescued by PETA, who finally found the loving home she deserves through adoption.

From helping individual animals like Liora to driving systemic change for countless others suffering in laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade, the entertainment business, and beyond, PETA supporters make it possible to confront cruelty wherever it exists and build a kinder world for all animals.
This summer, for Legacy Confirmation Month, we’re inviting compassionate supporters who have already named PETA in their legacy plans, or are in the process of doing so, to share their intentions with us. If you’ve already included PETA in your will, trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, or other estate plans, now is the perfect time to let us know. By confirming your plans, you help us better understand your wishes and ensure that your generosity will be honored. Those who notify us that they have included PETA in their plans are welcomed into the Augustus Club, our legacy society that recognizes individuals who have chosen to make a lasting difference for animals.
Many supporters find comfort in knowing their compassion will continue helping animals for years to come. If you haven’t yet included PETA in your plans, now is a great time to learn more and let your love for animals live on. We offer resources to help you explore your options and even provide a free online will-writing tool. There’s never been a better time to explore how you can create a lasting future for animals.
