Create a Bequest

What better way to create your legacy than to make a charitable bequest to help fund Friends‘ work into the future? By planning now, you can ensure that Friends’s animal welfare work is funded for generations to come.

A charitable bequest is one or two sentences in your will or living trust that leaves a specific item (an amount of money, a gift contingent upon certain events, or a percentage of your estate) to Friends of Mexican Animal Welfare.
