Sponsor A Pet
Your donation goes toward the care of a dog/cat that we have available for adoption. You can choose the dog/cat that you wish to sponsor with a monthly donation of $30.
Planned Giving
A bequest to Almost Home will ensure the gift of life for abused and abandoned animals. Please include the work of Almost Home in your will. A convenient way to donate is through our Paypal button:
There are many other options for planned giving. They can provide you with tax benefits while they help the animals. Through a planned gift, you may be able to increase your current income or provide additional retirement income, while reducing income tax and estate taxes. Some types of gifts virtually eliminate estate taxes, while others greatly reduce the amount of tax you are responsible for during your lifetime. It is important to explore your options so that both you and the animals receive the full benefit of any considered gift. Almost Home will be happy to discuss opportunities with you at your convenience.
Some options include:
Bequests through your will
Charitable Gift Annuities: Provide numerous tax benefits to you, and you are guaranteed income for the rest of your life
Life Insurance Gifts: Make Best Friends Animal Sanctuary the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy
Retirement Plans: Donate your interest in an IRA or other qualified savings plan
If you are considering a gift or would like more information, please email us at support@almosthomeli.org or to contact us by phone, please call (631)627-3665.
The Tax Identification Number (TIN) for Almost Home Animal Rescue & Adoption Inc. is 26-0597616.
Note: Almost Home representatives can help you in your planned giving and bequests, but we strongly encourage you to consult with an attorney or other expert of your choice.
