Memorials
A unique way to contribute to the Animal Shelter is to make a memorial -- to honor a person or a beloved pet. This money will be automatically invested in our endownment account and your memorial will be published in our newsletter.
Long-range Planning
There are numerous ways that you can help the animals of Northeast Oregon and the Louise McNeeley Animal Shelter for years to come. Please discuss these ideas with your financial planner or lawyer.
Bequests
Please consider putting us in your will. If you already have a will and we are not included, you can add a codicil or amendment to include BMHA.
Here are some suggestions:
- You could give us a general bequest, where you designate a specific amount of money that would be used as our Board desires.
- You can request a percentage of your assets be donated to the Animal Shelter upon your death.
- You can stipulate that the money goes to our Endowment Fund, where we can use only the income from your donation.
- You can specify a particular activity that you would like to see funded; however, please realize that this can tie our hands in cases of financial insecurity.
- You can purchase an insurance policy, wherein BMHA is the benefactor upon your death. Or you can make BMHA the benefactor of many different types of assets.
- You and your family could work with our Estate Sales Specialist, who can help your survivors disperse your possessions: sorting out important personal items to be kept in the family, valuing antiques, and pricing all saleable items.
- You could donate your vehicle to the Blue Mountain Humane Association for re-sale, with the profits of the sale used for care of the animals.
