Planned Giving - Bequests

A bequest to the Frederick County Humane Society will help guarantee that our spay/neuter programs, emergency medical assistance and many other ways to help animals will continue to exist for many years to come.

Through a planned gift, you may be able to increase your current income or provide additional retirement income, while reducing or avoiding income, estate and capital gains taxes. It is important to explore your options so that both you and the FCHS receive the full benefit of a planned gift.

The FCHS has a fund with the Community Foundation of Frederick County for individuals desirous of donating a portion of their estate to a local humane organization.


For more information about the Frederick County Humane Society Fund or to discuss other planned giving opportunities for the FCHS, please contact Director Connie Graf at 301-694-8300, ext. 202.
