It is something you probably don’t think about often and perhaps don’t talk about much. Yet it is important to consider. What someone leaves behind after they pass away can have a lasting impact. Not just for the people left behind, but also for the animals that need our care and protection.
The Haags Dierencentrum has been providing shelter to stray cats and dogs for over a hundred years. By offering cats and dogs medical care, protection, and the chance of a new, warm home, we can change lives. This is made possible by the support of people like you. By leaving a legacy to the Haags Dierencentrum, you give animals a new future, even after you are gone. You make the difference, and your contribution ensures that care for animals in need continues to exist.
Why is leaving a legacy to the Haags Dierencentrum so important?
With your gift in the form of a legacy, you help us with:
Providing food, medical treatments, and recovery for the animals
Carrying out vaccinations, sterilizations, neutering, and dental treatments
Guiding animals to new, caring families
Improving our shelter facilities so we can take even better care of the animals
Whether you leave a large or small amount, every contribution helps.
How is your legacy used?
Thanks to legacies, we can:
Give stray animals the medical care they urgently need
Guide animals to a new, loving home
Continue working on the renovation of our shelter location
Ensure a future where fewer animals have to live on the streets
How can you include the Haags Dierencentrum in your will?
There are two ways you can leave a legacy:
Legacy (Legaat): You leave a specific amount or asset to the Haags Dierencentrum.
Inheritance (Erfstelling): You name the Haags Dierencentrum as a (co-)heir for (part of) your estate.
We are happy to help you with this. Click here and fill out the form or contact us.
Guidance in arranging your legacy
Leaving a gift is a personal choice. That is why we work with experts from Westvaer and Executeursdiensten to provide you with professional guidance. They help you with the legal and practical matters, ensuring your wishes are carried out correctly.
Tax benefits for your legacy
Because the Haags Dierencentrum has ANBI status, we do not have to pay inheritance tax on your donation. This means your entire gift goes directly to the animals and the care they need.
