Planned Giving
Did you know that by making a gift in your Will to the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge you can perpetuate your support for the care of the donkeys long into the future?
At the Refuge we want to ensure that we can continue to provide quality care for the donkeys in the years to come. When you include a bequest or legacy in your Will or in a Codicil, you are helping to ensure care, compassion and concern for animals in the future.
If you plan to make a bequest to the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge in your Will, the correct legal name for the organization is Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society and our address is:
7877 Skimikin Road, Chase, British Columbia, Canada V0E 1M1
