Become an animal guardian

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.

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:

  • Funding research + solutions for food system change
  • Powering campaigns that shift public perception
  • Funding investigations exposing cruel practice
  • Driving actions that hold decision-makers accountable
  • Growing a united and powerful movement for animals

If you would like us to get in touch with you about leaving a gift in your Will, please fill out our form, or call 0800 7283 2646. You can also email Lyn at [email protected].

Because of generous support from people like you we have:

  • Secured a ban on live animal export by sea — protecting hundreds of thousands of animals from terrifying journeys.
  • Protected our hard-fought live export ban by challenging the governments attempt to bring it back
  • Successfully campaigned to ban greyhound racing, ending cruelty in an industry riddled with injuries and deaths.
  • Exposed misleading marketing used by the cage egg industry, resulting in changes to cage egg labelling.
  • Continued the fight for a ban on mud farming, backed by over 20,000 petition signers.
  • Won a high court ruling against the use of farrowing crates
  • Continued to stand up for bobby calves killed as waste by the dairy industry.
  • Called for a Commissioner for Animals, backed by 31,565 petition signatures
  • Successfully campaigned to end the use of battery cages
  • Launched our biggest campaign yet to end factory farming in Aotearoa

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.

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.

How to make a gift in your Will:

Setting up a gift in your 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): 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 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. 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.
