How to Help

AFH is always in need of assistance. There are many ways you can help. Here are a few ideas:

Volunteer

Because AFH is a 100% volunteer-run organization, we can not function without your help. In particular, we need foster homes, transporters for adoptions and vet visits, handlers at adoption days, home checkers, and helpers at fundraising events. If you would like to help, send an email to volunteer@aforeverhome.org.

Foster

Consider becoming an AFH foster home provider!

Brownie’s Fund

Brownie came to AFH in June, 2003. She was our first major medical case, requiring around-the-clock care and many trips to the vet. Brownie eventually made a full recovery and was adopted into her Forever Home.

We established Brownie’s fund to enable us to be prepared for the inevitable … the next “Brownie” who comes through our door. If you would like to help build our Brownie Fund, please use our PayPal (use the “Donate” button to the right for no-fee processing) or JustGiving links and enter “Brownie’s Fund” in the comment section. Your generous donation will be directed to our major medical fund – in honor of Brownie!

Estate Planning

A bequest to A Forever Home Rescue Foundation, Inc. through your Will or Trust helps ensure that we can continue to carry out our mission of helping homeless and abused animals receive the care they need.

By remembering A Forever Home Rescue Foundation, Inc. in your estate planning, you can leave a legacy that will benefit future generations of animals and help provide for our future work. The federal government encourages these gifts or bequests, by allowing an unlimited estate tax charitable deduction.

There are various methods for making such a bequest.

• A specific bequest allows you to leave a specified gift in the form of a cash distribution. To make such a bequest use the following language: “I give, devise and bequeath to A Forever Home Rescue Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 222801, Chantilly, VA 20153-2801 the sum of (insert amount) to be used for its general purposes.”
• A residuary bequest allows you to leave a “remainder” of a percentage of your estate to A Forever Home Rescue Foundation, Inc. To make a residuary use the following language: “I give, devise and bequeath to A Forever Home Rescue Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 222801, Chantilly, VA 20153-2801 all (insert percentage amount) of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, to be used for its general purposes.”
• A contingency bequest allows you to make a gift contingent on certain circumstances. To make a contingency bequest use the following language: “If any of the above-named beneficiaries should predecease me, I hereby bequeath his or her share to A Forever Home Rescue Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 222801, Chantilly, VA 20153-2801 to be used for its general purposes.”
• If you already have a Will, you can use the suggested wording to write a codicil (an addendum) that names A Forever Home Rescue Foundation, Inc. a beneficiary of your estate.

Regardless of how you designate your bequest, know that we will treasure the gift and ensure that it is used for the benefit of the animals in our care.
