Include Elegius Mini Equine Sanctuary in Your Estate Plans

Your love for animals can live on. By including Elegius Mini Equine Sanctuary in your will or estate plans, you’re ensuring that miniature horses in need will continue to find safety, love, and lifelong care—long into the future.

Planned giving allows you to make a lasting difference without affecting your current financial security. Whether your gift is large or small, your legacy becomes part of our sanctuary’s story—helping us protect, rehabilitate, and advocate for the most vulnerable equines for generations to come.

Ways to Give

There are several ways to leave a meaningful legacy through planned giving. Each method offers unique benefits depending on your goals and financial situation:

Bequests

Designate Elegius Mini Equine Sanctuary as a beneficiary in your will or living trust. You can choose to give a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a residual portion after other gifts are made.

Beneficiary Designations

Name us as a beneficiary of your retirement account, life insurance policy, or bank account. This option is simple and can often be completed online with your provider.

Charitable Trusts & Gift Annuities

Certain giving strategies, such as charitable remainder trusts or charitable gift annuities, may provide income to you or your loved ones during your lifetime, with the remainder supporting our mission.

Gifts of Property or Securities

Donating appreciated securities or real estate may offer tax benefits while making a significant impact on our work with miniature horses.

We recommend consulting with your financial advisor or estate attorney to explore the best options for your personal situation.
