Giving the Gift of Independence

When you make a gift to CPL, you are making it possible for individuals with disabilities to receive service and companion dogs that will transform their lives.

The total cost to raise, train, place and provide lifetime support for each CPL dog is over $30,000. Recipients are asked to make a nominal donation, however, no one is denied a dog due to their inability to contribute.

Your support is giving individuals with disabilities hope, increased confidence and greater independence. Thank you for your generosity!

Ways to Give to Canine Partners for Life

There are many ways you can give support to CPL’s programs and services:

Stock Gifts

One of the easiest ways to contribute to CPL is with a gift of stock. It is simple and generally offers a number of valuable financial benefits, including the total value of the stock upon transfer is tax-deductible and there is typically no obligation to pay capital gains taxes. CPL recommends you consult with your tax advisor regarding your specific tax situation.

Procedures for Stock Gifts:

• Before facilitating the transfer, please notify us of the name of stock, number of shares, if you prefer to designate the gift to a specific purpose (such as Capital Campaign), and the time frame you expect to complete the transfer.
• Your broker may need our brokerage information in order to facilitate the transfer:
  • O’Brien Greene & Co. (Custodian is Fidelity)
  • Account number 479–765309
  • DTC #0226

It is important that you authorize the broker to disclose to CPL your name and the details pertaining to the stock transfer. This will allow us to identify the gift when it arrives.

Solla’s Partners (Planned Giving)

Solla’s Partners (named for Solla, the very first CPL service dog) was established to recognize and thank those who have included Canine Partners for Life in their estate plans either through a will, trust, retirement or life insurance plans, bank accounts, or life income gift such as a charitable gift annuity. Through your thoughtfulness, you make a timeless commitment to continue the work of CPL to increase the quality of life of individuals we serve, by providing and sustaining professionally trained service and companion dogs for years to come.

Contact your legal or financial advisor to discuss your options. Then contact CPL to let us know of your gift. We acknowledge and respect if you wish to remain anonymous but we encourage you to notify us of your plans on a confidential basis, as it allows us to plan for the future.

The Partnership for Independence Campaign

With phase one complete, building the Marian S.
