Thank you for considering a gift to PAWS!
Your donation will change the outcome for abandoned, injured and orphaned animals with nowhere else to turn.
Make a stock gift to PAWS
A great option for making an immediate impact at PAWS is considering an asset-based contribution. You could see combined tax savings of up to 70% of your gift when you donate appreciated stocks or mutual funds.
To initiate a transfer, please share the below information with your broker:
PAWS Broker: Morgan Stanley
Account Number: 135-019618-488
DTC Number: 0015
After you make your transfer, please notify Andi Anderson, Director of Philanthropy & Events, at (425) 772-8271 or aanderson@paws.org.
IRA distributions and rollovers
Another great option is turning your required minimum distribution into a tax-wise charitable gift directly from your IRA to PAWS. Your contribution will go right to work supporting the animals coming through our doors every day.
Please consult with your financial advisor for advice regarding your specific circumstances and determine what’s best for you. You will need to provide them with PAWS’ tax ID number, which is 91-6073154.
Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a philanthropic vehicle established at a public charity like Fidelity or Schwab. It allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend giving from the fund over time.
An easy way to think about a DAF is like a charitable savings account: you contribute to the fund as frequently as you like and then recommend “grants” or donations to your favorite charity when you are ready. During your lifetime, you can recommend a “grant” or donation from your donor-advised fund to help the animals in need at PAWS.
Please contact your DAF directly to initiate your recommendation.
Create your legacy of philanthropy
The final distribution of contributions remaining in your DAF after your lifetime can be designated when you create or update your fund. We hope you will consider naming PAWS as a beneficiary of your account. You may even designate PAWS to receive a portion of your account value, leaving the remaining portion for your children or grandchildren to continue your legacy of philanthropy.
Please contact your DAF directly to initiate your recommendation.
