You can make a meaningful difference in the lives of companion animals by including Friends of Yolo County Animal Services in your estate plan. Your will reflects your values and what you hold dear, providing an opportunity to extend your legacy in ways that matter to you. One powerful way to do this is by making charitable contributions in your will.

​

• You can choose to designate a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate as a gift.

• You can establish a trust, which can provide income to a loved one for their lifetime, with the remaining funds going to Friends of Yolo County Animal Services.

• Unrestricted gifts are often the most helpful, as they allow us to address the shelter's most urgent needs. However, if you prefer, you can specify how your gift should be used. We recommend consulting with a Friends of Yolo County Animal Services board member to ensure that any conditions you set can be fulfilled.
