Bequests and wills
Think about the animals when drafting your will.
Since 1981, the non-profit association (ASBL) Help Animals helps the most deprived animals et promotes day after day the wellbeing of all animals. Based on the approval of our shelter by the Ministry of Agriculture(animal Welfare and Protection Act 1986), the tax administration has also granted us a more advantageous taxation.
We do not receive any state subsidies. Our shelter is exclusively supported by your generous contributions (gifts, donations and bequests).
Donations
Your spontaneous donations, punctual help, can take many forms: cash, bank transfers or even in kind (ex. Material things, food, necessities for animals, ...). For the Financial donations we deliver a tax receipt allowing you to deduct these sums from your taxable income.
You can also support us by a deed of gift of your property. This will necessarily be done by a deed passed before a notary. More information can be obtained by contacting us on the address: successions@helpanimals.be of by fixing an appointment with the notary of your choice.
Bequests
You can also (and mostly) support us by drafter a will in our favour (“bequests”). Thanks to our tax status, Help Animals will benefit from a reduced rate as inheritance tax. To give you an idea you find here the rate we receive in each region:
- Region of Brussels-Capital: 7%
- Walloon region: 7%
- Flanders region: 0%
At all times, don’t hesitate to inquire at the notary of your choice (www.notaire.be). He will adapt his council, in all objectivity and independence, to the circumstances and personal and family situation. Moreover, he will advise you concerning the form and ways of drafting your will.
The donations and bequests are indispensable for the survival of Help Animals because they allow us to dispose of the necessary financial means to continue our tireless, daily fight for animals.
We remind you that Help Animals is managed by a Board of Directors that consists today of 6 independent and unpaid members.
