Estate Planning & Giving
Animals give you a better life, you can leave them a better world.
Making a gift through your estate is one of the most effective ways to ensure that we can carry on our shared vision of helping pets and the people that love them in our community. When you decide to make an estate gift to the Humane Society of Charlotte (HSC), you will leave a legacy of caring for animals in need and ensure the long-term support of our life-saving work.

It is our honor to say thank you and recognize you for your generosity by including you as a member of our Legacy Society.
