Remember Us in Your Will!
A simple way to help provide for the pets in our care is to make a bequest to Noah's B'ark. It is the last powerful statement you can make about your concern and care for homeless pets. Bequests are an instrument of a contributor's will that sets aside a sum of money, a portion of the estate or a portion of the estate's residuary for distribution to a charitable organization, such as Noah's B'ark. The bequest can be small or large. You can make a lasting gift for the homeless pets through a gift to Noah's B'ark by including a provision in your will or living trust.
The following wording may be included in a Will or Living Trust to make a lasting gift for the animals:
Charitable devise of real property in Will:
"I give and devise to Noah's B'ark Inc. a corporation organized and existing under the California Nonprofit Corporation Law, nonprofit ID# 95-4677862, that certain real property commonly known as (street address or other common description) and more particularly described as follows: (detailed legal description), together with all improvements thereon, to be used for such purposes as the Board of Directors thereof may deem to be for the best interests of Noah's B'ark Inc."

Distribution from Testamentary or Living Trust:
