As a Visionaries’ Circle or President’s Circle member, you will feel even closer to our mission by experiencing it firsthand. Maybe you’ve always wanted to ride along on a rescue mission — giving neglected or abandoned animals a second chance. Perhaps you’d like to learn how your gift transforms feline lives by attending a personal update by our President. Or see our daily lifesaving work behind-the-scenes with a tour through our state-of-the-art Medical Center. You may even have a challenging question for our animal socializers or behavior experts, whose rehabilitative work your gifts make possible.

These are just a few of the experiences available to you through our Visionaries’ Circle and President’s Circle. It is our way of saying thank you — for saving animals’ lives, for giving animals a voice, and for expressing your personal passion for animals as our deeply valued philanthropic partner.

1929 Legacy Society

Our Heritage Society has been re-named and is now our 1929 Legacy Society! Our members (who we now fondly call “our ’29ers”) have let us know that they have thoughtfully included Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) in their will or trust, or as a beneficiary of their retirement account, life insurance, charitable remainder trust, or more.

As a member of our 1929 Legacy Society, you will enjoy a deeper connection to HSSV. Through our benefits listed below we will share with you the lifesaving work we are performing now, so you can consider a particular area of our work in which you’d like to leave your legacy. These benefits are designed to bring you deeper into our fold, with a view into HSSV’s long-term plans, keeping you engaged, inspired, and excited about what your future gift will accomplish.

For any questions regarding our 1929 Legacy Society benefits, how to leave a future gift to HSSV, or to let us know you have already included HSSV in your estate plans, please contact Bridget Keenan at 408-942-3006 or bridget.keenan@hssv.org.
