Planned Giving
For the Love of Your Dog. For the Future of Your Breed.
The AKC Canine Health Foundation Heritage Society honors donors who have made a commitment to the Foundation through a planned gift. Heritage Society members secure the future health of their beloved breeds and advance the mission of the Foundation so that all dogs live longer, healthier lives.
If you are thinking of updating or creating your estate plans, be sure your legacy honors your best friend. We are here to help you make a planned gift that works for you and supports the mission of the AKC Canine Health Foundation to advance the health of all dogs for years to come.
Making a Planned Gift
When you are ready to make a planned gift, consult with an attorney or a financial planner to make the best decision for your wishes and situation. We are happy to answer questions about our work and different types of planned gifts, and to provide sample language.
