Leave a Lasting Legacy for Goldens
Create a lasting legacy of support for our dogs by creating a planned gift or designating our organization as beneficiary for financial assets. Your gift will help us continue to provide the care that transforms the lives of so many golden retrievers.
To make a planned gift, designate Southeastern Virginia Golden Retriever Rescue, Education and Training, Inc., P.O. Box 8014, Yorktown, VA 23693 , Tax ID: 54-1705550, Incorporation date 1994, in your will or as a beneficiary.
Leaving a Legacy Through Bequests
One of the simplest ways to make a lasting gift to SEVA GRREAT is through a bequest. A bequest allows you to designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate to a charitable organization through your will or trust.
These gifts often make a greater impact than what may be possible during one’s lifetime and may qualify for an estate tax charitable deduction, potentially reducing the taxable portion of your estate.
By including SEVA GRREAT in your estate plans, you can create a lasting legacy that supports Golden Retrievers in need while also meeting your personal financial and estate planning goals. Planned gifts may also help ensure lifelong care for your own pets.

Common Types of Bequests
General Bequest
A specific dollar amount or property designated to SEVA GRREAT.
Percentage Bequest
A designated percentage of your total estate.
Residual Bequest
The remainder of your estate after other obligations are fulfilled.
Contingent Bequest
A gift to SEVA GRREAT if another beneficiary is unable to receive their bequest.
Other Meaningful Ways to Give
Gifts of Life Insurance
You may name SEVA GRREAT as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. If a policy is no longer needed for family security, ownership may also be transferred to SEVA GRREAT, potentially providing a charitable tax deduction.
Gifts of Retirement Plan Assets
Retirement assets such as IRAs or 401(k)s can be a highly tax-efficient way to give. When designated to a qualified charity like SEVA GRREAT, estate and income taxes are avoided – allowing your gift to make its fullest impact. People who are age 70 ½ or older can contribute from their IRA yearly at any time directly to a charity and avoid paying income taxes on the distribution.
Gifts of Appreciated Stock
Donating appreciated securities can help you avoid capital gains taxes while supporting rescue efforts.
Pet Guardianship: Securing Your Golden’s Future
If you do not have a family member or friend who can care for your Golden Retriever or Golden mix, SEVA GRREAT may be able to help. Entrusting your dog’s care to SEVA GRREAT provides peace of mind and ensures they will be placed with a safe, loving home should the unexpected occur.
