Recently, two rescued parakeets named Bonnie and Clyde finally got the chance to spread their wings after enduring years of confinement and exploitation at a bird-breeding operation. Thanks to PETA’s undercover investigation and the determination of compassionate supporters, these birds now have the freedom, space, and care they always deserved.

Victories like this are possible because caring people stand behind PETA’s work. From rescuing animals in urgent need and exposing cruelty to advancing alternatives to animal testing and promoting vegan living, PETA’s supporters make lasting progress for animals possible every day. But the work doesn’t end with today’s victories. To create a kinder future for animals, we must ensure these efforts continue for years to come.
For many of us, supporting animals is more than something we do. It’s part of who we are. Whether you’ve spent time taking action for animals, supporting PETA’s campaigns, or sharing our work with others, you may have wondered how you can continue helping create a kinder world for animals far into the future. The good news is that making a lasting difference can be easier than you think.
Our complimentary guide, Easy Ways to Create Your Legacy, explains some of the simplest ways to ensure that your compassion for animals creates a lasting impact. The guide outlines flexible options, including gifts through a will, living trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, or beneficiary designation. These types of plans require no upfront donation and can be changed at any time if circumstances shift.
One of the most inspiring aspects of legacy giving is that every gift, no matter its size, becomes part of something much larger: a powerful movement for animals. Today, one of every three dollars PETA raises to help animals comes from supporters who chose to include PETA in their legacy plans. This means that every third animal PETA rescues or cruelty investigation it undertakes is possible because a compassionate person chose to remember animals through a legacy gift.
These future gifts help drive lasting change for animals around the world.
If you’ve ever considered including animals in your long-term plans, now is the perfect time to learn more about turning today’s compassion into tomorrow’s progress for animals. Our free guide makes the process approachable and easy to understand, whether you’re just beginning to explore your options or are ready to take the next step.
Just as compassionate supporters helped make a brighter future possible for Bonnie and Clyde, a legacy gift can help ensure that all animals continue to receive the protection, advocacy, and second chances they deserve.
