LEGAL NAME: Lifesavers Inc, our EIN: 95-4631906

Gifts from Donor-Advised Funds provide flexible, powerful support that lets us respond to urgent needs—whether that’s emergency rescue, medical interventions, or expanding our sanctuary. Recommending a grant to Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue through your DAF helps sustain our mission with reliable funding. You can make a lasting impact with one simple step.

Use DAF Direct to connect directly to your fund with Fidelity Charitable, DAFgiving360, or BNY Charitable.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers, are the savviest way for individuals age 70½ or older to use their IRAs to maximize their charitable impact.

If you are 70½ or older, you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA directly to Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue. This allows you to:

• Satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)

• Exclude the donated amount from your taxable income

• Enjoy tax savings even if you don’t itemize deductions

How It Works

1. Contact your IRA custodian (e.g. Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab) and request to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution directly to us.

2. Give them our legal name Lifesavers, Inc. and EIN: 95-4631906.

3. Specify that the distribution should come directly from the IRA to Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue (the check or electronic transfer must be payable to us).

4. Notify us so we can acknowledge your gift and send the proper receipt for your records.

5. For your gift to count in a given tax year, the funds must clear by December 31.

Appreciated non-cash assets are a tax-smart way to support our mission. By contributing these types of assets either directly to us or to your DAF, rather than selling them first and donating the proceeds directly to us, you may be able to eliminate capital gains tax on the sale, enabling you to support our mission by up to 20% more. When you give stock through The Giving Block, you help Lifesavers fund long-term care for sanctuary horses, expand our rescue operations, and invest in the future of wild horse preservation.

Here is a list of non-cash assets you may have in your portfoloio that would make tax-efficient donations:

Publicly traded securities
IPO stock
Restricted stock
Fine art and collectible
Equity compensation awards
Privately held business interests
Real estate
Private equity fund interests
Life insurance policies

Your Legacy, Your Impact

Let’s Talk

If you are considering a legacy gift, we encourage you to speak with your attorney or estate planner. We are also happy to talk with you or your advisor about how your gift can make a difference. We’d love to welcome you to our Legacy Society. Contact us to start a conversation.

‍By contributing to our Sunset Horse Care Program, you can help ensure that our aging horses, some of whom have been with us for decades, receive the high-quality nutrition they require in their sunset years.

Your contribution will not only nourish their bodies but also warm their hearts, knowing they are loved and valued.

Make a one-time donation of any amount to support our Sunset Horse Care Program. Remember that each bag of special feed costs $20, and $60 will feed one senior horse for a little over a whole week. $220 will feed a senior horse for a month.

Donating cryptocurrency is a tax-efficient way to support our lifesaving work. Crypto donations processed through The Giving Block allow us to receive the full value of your gift without capital gains taxes. Your crypto can be quickly turned into hay, shelter, veterinary care, and a second chance for horses that deserve to live free from harm.

Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue is thrilled to embrace this new era of digital currency innovation. This new initiative allows us to expand our donor base and offer a convenient and tax-efficient way for supporters to contribute. The IRS classifies cryptocurrency donations as property, meaning they are not subject to capital gains tax and are tax deductible on the donor's tax returns.

Your unwanted vehicle—whether running or not—can help fuel our mission. Through our partnership with careasy.org, you can donate a car, truck, motorcycle, RV, or boat, and the proceeds go directly to support our horse rescue and rehabilitation programs. It's an easy, meaningful way to turn a vehicle into a vehicle for change.

CARS makes donating your car easy. They take care of everything from the pick-up and sale to sending you the donation receipt and necessary tax documents.

Check with your payroll department to see if they allow contributions from your paycheck to be sent directly to Lifesavers. You can also ask if they offer matches to any gifts you give outside of payroll.
