Impact for animals for years to come

Animal Guardians

Animals have had an impact on your life. By remembering SAFE in your will, you can impact the lives of animals for years to come. It’s action you can take now to ensure a kinder, more compassionate world for future generations.

Create hope

When you remember SAFE in your will, you are giving animals a voice and putting hope for a better future into action. You are impacting the lives of millions of animals in New Zealand, by creating:

- Historic legal change that ensures kinder treatment of animals
- Government action on the cruel use of animals in entertainment
- An end to barbaric practises such as colony cages and live export
- Continue to protect the ban on Live Exports
- End mud farming (also known as intensive winter grazing), as a cruel and environmentally damaging practice

Remember animals in your will

Animals have brought you joy in your lifetime and, like us, you believe animals deserve a life worth living. You believe that all animals deserve kindness, compassion, and fair treatment.

It is often thought that only wealthy people can leave a gift to a charity when they pass away. In fact, most legacy gifts to SAFE are made by ordinary, hardworking people just like you who want to continue to make a positive difference for animals after they have gone.

Once you’ve taken care of family and close friends, your gift for animals can be as little or as much as you want.

 

How to make a gift in your will:

Setting up a gift in our will only take three steps:

    1. Reach out to [email protected] or 0800 7283 2646 to have your questions answered and to record your intention to leave a gift in your will to ensure that your wishes are carried out.
    2. Provide the suggested wording to your solicitor or trustee company. You may find the suggested text below useful:
      I give to SAFE (Save Animals From Exploitation) Incorporated: the sum of $…… for general purposes. 
      Or (description of assets) …………………………
      Or (percentage of estate) ……………………………
      Or (residue of estate) ……………………………………
      I declare that the receipt of the Secretary or other appropriate officers of SAFE Incorporated shall be sufficient discharge for my Trustees for the legacy.
      When referring to SAFE in your will, please use the official name Save Animals From Exploitation Incorporated. SAFE is a registered charity (CC40428) under the Charities Act 2005.

    3. Make sure you speak to your family and solicitor to discuss your wishes and seek legal advice.

“SAFE gives a voice to the voiceless. It throws light on human-induced animal suffering caused by practices that have no place in a civilised society. SAFE campaigns have yielded results: animal advocacy works. That is why I have left a gift to SAFE in my will.”
