Make a gift in your will

Will you consider leaving a gift in your will to Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland enabling us to continue to change the world for children with autism?

Why choose Legacy Giving with AADI?

Impact

Your support helps us train more Autism Assistance Dogs, who go on to transform the lives of autistic children and their families. Each dog requires two years and €25,000 to fully train.

Legacy

A legacy gift is a powerful way to ensure your values live on. By including AADI in your will, you create a lasting impact and demonstrate your commitment to meaningful social change.

Tax Efficiency

Legacy gifts can also help reduce the inheritance tax burden on your estate, making them a tax-efficient way to support a cause you care about and provide long lasting impacts.

Bequests

Including a gift to AADI in your will is one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to support our work. A bequest ensures that your legacy continues to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Life Insurance Policies

Consider nominating AADI as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy. This allows you to make a substantial future gift, ensuring your support continues long into the future.

Retirement Plan Assets

Designating AADI as a beneficiary of your retirement plan assets not only supports our mission but can also provide significant tax advantages for your estate. It’s a win-win way to maximise your impact.

Anna has a complete lack of awareness of safety. Dougal has now enabled us to go out as a family. Having Dougal is an absolute gift and our family doesn’t take him for granted for one minute. If you walked in my shoes for one day, you would see what it was like and what a difference Dougal has made. I wish the same for any family with a child who needs a dog.
