DONOR WALL
To honor the many generous donors who are helping to make WAHS’s new home a reality, all gifts over $100 will be recognized on our donor wall. The donor wall will be a prominent feature of the community room in our new building. Hand-crafted by local artisans, the donor wall will bring to mind the fences that help keep our animals safe. Each donor name will be inscribed on tag hung on the wall, tag similar to those that ensure our animals can always find their way home. There are three levels of donor wall levels represented by color tags.
$100-$250 Faithful Friend (Purple Tag)
$250-$500 Loyal Companion (Silver Tag)
$500-$1000 Guardian Angel (Gold Tags)

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
Every gift to the Washington Area Humane Society makes a difference in the lives of the abandoned, abused and neglected animals we serve. All gifts to this campaign for Washington Area Humane Society, unless otherwise restricted, will help provide a new home for animals in Washington County.
-
Pledges – Gifts to the New Home, New Hope campaign can be made as pledges payable over three years. This allows you to make a more substantial gift and adjust the timing and amount of each payment to suit your needs and financial situation.
-
Matching Gifts – Many companies will match their employees’ (and sometimes retired employees’) charitable contributions. You can increase, even double, your campaign gift through a matching gift program.
-
Gifts of Stock – When you choose to make your gift to the campaign by contributing appreciated securities, you can gain valuable tax advantages. If you own appreciated securities for at least a year and a day, your contribution can offer many benefits. As with all important financial decisions, your gift of stock should be discussed first with your personal financial advisor.
-
Retirement Funds – Donors can give wisely by using their retirement funds to make a gift to the New Home, New Hope campaign. WAHS can be named as a beneficiary of your retirement account (IRA) or you can use a withdrawal (over age 59 ½) to fund your contribution. Donors over age 70 ½ have the wonderful opportunity to make a direct transfer gift from their IRA. These tax beneficial ways of giving should be explored first with your personal financial advisor before any decisions are made.
-
Bequests – Making a gift through your will or other planned giving vehicle is a wonderful way to support WAHS and the New Home, New Hope campaign. A gift through your will may enable you to make a more significant gift without impacting your current financial situation and most importantly, help improve the capacity for care at the Washington Area Humane Society. Please consult your personal legal and financial advisors concerning the specific consequences of making gifts through your will or estate plan to WAHS.
Call Executive Director, Kelly Proudfit to learn more about these opportunities.
