Planned Giving: Retirement Assets

Turn Your Savings Into Lifesaving with

Operation Catnip!

A gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other tax-deferred retirement plan is a simple way to help community cats while maximizing the impact of your assets.

If you don’t expect to use all your retirement savings during your lifetime, consider allocating the remainder to help our community cats in need. These gifts can include retirement accounts, health savings accounts, donor-advised funds, and financial accounts like CDs, savings, and checking accounts with Transfer on Death (TOD) or Payment on Death (POD) designations.

Why Give Through Retirement Assets?

  • Retirement plans are often subject to income and estate taxes, but as a nonprofit, Operation Catnip of Gainesville receives the full value of your gift tax-free.

  • Designating Operation Catnip as a beneficiary is an easy, flexible way to create a lifesaving impact for community cats in need.
