At the Rabbit.org Foundation, we are dedicated to ensuring that rabbits are understood, respected, and protected through education and advocacy. By including Rabbit.org Foundation in your estate plans, you help secure a future where more people learn how to care for rabbits properly, and policies continue to evolve to protect them.
Through Rabbit.org Foundation’s Legacy Giving Program, you can make a lasting impact by providing future support through your will, trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy. Your generosity today helps ensure that rabbit welfare education and advocacy continue for generations to come.
Ways to Leave a Legacy
There are two primary ways to include Rabbit.org Foundation in your estate planning:
Bequests Through Wills & Trusts
A bequest is a simple yet powerful way to support the future of rabbit advocacy. You can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular asset such as cash, securities, or real estate.
Bequests are flexible—you can modify them at any time as your circumstances change. Plus, they may qualify your estate for tax deductions as permitted by law. Many people have questions about how to write a clause in their will, or what to include in a provision to set aside funds for a nonprofit.
Sample Will Provision:
“I give (____ dollars), (_____ percent of the residue of my estate), or (a specific asset) to Rabbit.org Foundation. (or any nonprofit you choose)”
We encourage you to consult with your estate planner or legal advisor to determine what works best for you.
Retirement Plans & Life Insurance Policies
You can also name Rabbit.org Foundation as the beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy. This is a straightforward way to make a meaningful contribution while maximizing potential tax benefits. A financial advisor can assist you in making this designation.
A Gift That Lasts Beyond a Lifetime
Many supporters wish they could give more during their lifetime, but through estate planning, they can make a transformational impact in the future. By remembering Rabbit.org Foundation in your plans, you are ensuring that rabbit education and advocacy continue for generations to come.

Your legacy means more people will learn, advocate, and create change for rabbits long into the future.
