DONATE
Make a difference today.
Your contribution to ACSKC provides food, shelter, medical care, and love for every animal at ACSKC until they find their forever home.
As Kent County’s only open-admission shelter, we care for hundreds of cats, dogs, and small mammals each year. Beyond adoptions, your support helps fund vital community programs like our pet food pantry, humane education, lost-and-found services, and rehoming assistance.
Leave a legacy for Kent County’s animals
A planned gift to the Animal Care Shelter for Kent County (ACSKC) ensures we can continue providing adoptions, veterinary care, humane education, and lost-and-found services for generations to come.
WAYS TO GIVE
You can include ACSKC in your legacy plans through:
Naming ACSKC in your Will or Living Trust
Designating ACSKC as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy
Establishing a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust
Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA (if age 70½ or older). QCDs allow you to donate up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA to ACSKC, tax-free. If you’re 73 or older, this also counts toward your required minimum distribution.
If you’ve included ACSKC in your plans, please contact Richard Keaveney at rkeaveney@acskc.org to ensure your wishes are honored.
Why It Matters
A legacy gift reduces taxes for your estate and ensures that 100% of your retirement assets go directly to helping animals. It’s a meaningful way to make your values part of your legacy.
