MAINE FRIENDS OF ANIMALS LEGACY CIRCLE
The Legacy Circle consists of MFOA supporters who have expressed an interest in planned giving to benefit MFOA and the animals we work so hard to protect. They are composed of generous and forward-thinking donors who have chosen to support our long-term success through a planned gift. A bequest to Maine Friends of Animals is a wonderful way to express your enduring love for protecting animals as part of your legacy.
Creating a will or trust is something many people put off until later in life, but in truth, directing your assets —whether modest or significant — is an expression of the love for the people and the causes you care most about. It’s not complicated or costly, and you don’t need great wealth to do it. There are numerous creative and flexible giving options that can help ensure the sustainability of Maine Friends of Animals in a way that honors your core values, and makes a difference in our vital work to protect innocent animals for another 30 years and beyond.
