For many PETA supporters, compassion for animals is more than a belief, it’s a lifelong commitment. Through legacy giving, you can help ensure that the dedication to animal liberation that guides your life today continues creating meaningful change long into the future.

If you’ve ever considered including PETA in your estate plans but weren’t sure where to begin, our complimentary guide, Getting Started: Planning for Peace of Mind in Five Easy Steps, can help. This practical resource is designed to clarify the planning process, walking supporters like you through key considerations and helping you organize your wishes with confidence. Whether you’re creating an estate plan for the first time or revisiting existing plans, the guide offers easy-to-follow steps to help you get started.

Legacy gifts play a vital role in sustaining PETA’s work. These funds help power undercover investigations that expose cruelty, groundbreaking campaigns that encourage compassionate choices, legal efforts to challenge animal exploitation, and lifesaving programs that assist animals in need.

Thoughtful legacy planning takes careful consideration, but there are a variety of ways to include support for animals in your plans, depending on your goals. Many PETA supporters add a provision to a will or trust, or name PETA as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or other financial account. No matter where you are in the planning process, understanding your options can make it easier to move forward with confidence.

Planning ahead can help reduce uncertainty for family members, ensure animal companions are cared for, and make future decisions easier, giving everyone greater peace of mind while ensuring that the causes you care about are reflected in your plans.

The choices you make today can help strengthen protections for animals tomorrow. Your compassion has already helped drive victories for animals. A legacy gift can help protect and expand those gains for years to come.
