Leave a Legacy of Kindness

Leave a Legacy of Kindness

Because compassion doesn’t have an expiration date.

At GLO Farm Sanctuary, every animal who comes through our gates is given something that many have never known before: a promise of forever.

A promise that they will always have enough to eat. That they will receive the veterinary care they need. That they will be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect. And that no matter how old they become or how complicated their needs may be, they will always have a place to call home.

For the animals who find sanctuary with us, forever isn’t just a beautiful idea. It’s a commitment we make every single day.

And with your help, it’s a promise we can continue making for generations to come.

Your Compassion Can Live On

For many of us, our love for animals is woven into the very fabric of who we are. It shapes the choices we make, the causes we support, and the kind of world we hope to leave behind.

Including GLO Farm Sanctuary in your estate plans is a meaningful way to ensure that the compassion you’ve shown animals throughout your lifetime continues long into the future.

A legacy gift, sometimes called a planned gift or charitable bequest, is a donation arranged as part of your estate planning. It allows you to provide for the people and causes closest to your heart while also making a lasting difference for animals who need someone in their corner.

Your gift could help provide nourishing food, lifesaving veterinary treatment, warm shelter, specialized care for elderly and disabled residents, and a safe place for animals who have nowhere else to turn.

It could help us say “yes” to an animal desperately in need of sanctuary.

It could help ensure that animals already in our care continue receiving everything they need throughout their lives.

And it could help build a future where GLO’s doors remain open, and our promise of forever remains unbroken.

You may never meet the animals whose lives your generosity will change. But they will feel the difference, every single day.

You Don’t Have to Be Wealthy to Leave a Beautiful Legacy

One of the most common misconceptions about estate giving is that it’s something reserved for people with considerable wealth. It isn’t.

A legacy gift can be as modest or as generous as you choose. Some people leave a specific dollar amount. Others choose to leave a small percentage of their estate, or name a charity as a beneficiary of certain accounts or insurance policies.

There is no minimum gift, and no expectation.

Your family, loved ones, and personal commitments should always come first. We would never want anyone to feel otherwise.

But if caring for animals has been an important part of your life, perhaps helping to protect them can also become part of your legacy.

Even a small gift can make an extraordinary difference in the life of an animal.

How Can I Include GLO in My Estate Plans?

There are several ways to make a legacy gift to GLO Farm Sanctuary.

Leave a gift in your will

You may choose to leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a portion of what remains after your loved ones have been provided for.

Name GLO as a beneficiary

Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to name GLO Farm Sanctuary as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, RRSP, RRIF, or TFSA.

Explore other planned giving opportunities

Other forms of charitable giving may be appropriate depending on your financial circumstances and personal wishes.

Some estate gifts may also offer tax benefits under Canadian law. We encourage you to speak with your lawyer, financial advisor, or estate planning professional to determine which options are most appropriate for you.

If you decide to include GLO in your plans, it’s important to use our full legal charitable name and registration information to ensure your wishes can be carried out correctly.

Our team would be happy to provide those details.

If you have already included GLO in your estate plans, we would love the opportunity to thank you personally. There is absolutely no obligation to disclose the details or value of your gift, and we will always respect your wishes regarding privacy and recognition.
