Leave a Legacy of Compassion

For more than 150 years, SPCA Cincinnati has been a place of hope for animals in need. By joining the Bradstreet Legacy Society, you can ensure that hope continues for generations to come.

A planned gift is one of the most meaningful ways to support SPCA Cincinnati. By including the organization in your will, trust, retirement plan, or other estate plans, you create a lasting legacy that provides lifesaving care, shelter, medical treatment, and second chances for animals throughout our community. Many planned gifts cost nothing during your lifetime, allowing you to make a future impact while achieving your own personal, financial, and philanthropic goals.

The Bradstreet Legacy Society recognizes individuals and families who have chosen to include SPCA Cincinnati in their estate plans. Their generosity helps ensure that future generations of animals will always have a place to turn for compassion, care, and hope.

Ways to Leave Your Legacy

There are many ways to make a planned gift, including:

A gift through your will or living trust
Retirement plan assets
Life insurance policies
Appreciated securities
Mutual funds and bonds
Real estate
Closely held stock
Tangible personal property

Every legacy gift, regardless of size, helps sustain SPCA Cincinnati's mission and ensures lifesaving care remains available for years to come.

Charitable Bequests

A charitable bequest is one of the simplest and most flexible ways to leave a legacy. Through your will or living trust, you can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, a particular asset, or the remainder of your estate to SPCA Cincinnati. Depending on your circumstances, charitable bequests may also provide estate tax benefits.

If you choose to include SPCA Cincinnati in your plans, you may share the following language with your attorney:

I give, devise, and bequeath to Hamilton County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals dba SPCA Cincinnati, 11900 Conrey Road, Sharonville, Ohio 45249, the sum of $________ (or ____% of my estate), to be used for its general charitable purposes.

Because every estate plan is unique, we encourage you to consult your attorney, financial advisor, or estate planning professional to ensure your gift reflects your wishes and overall goals.
