Beyond cash donations
Give through assets and accounts
Your generosity can take many forms. Some gifts require special acceptance, brokerage or transfer instructions—we’ll help you begin the conversation securely.
Donor-Advised Funds
Already have a donor-advised fund (DAF)? You may recommend a grant to our nonprofit without setting up a new donation account. In your DAF portal, search for Liberty’s Legacy Inc. (dba Journey With Equus), EIN 47-4878985. You can usually choose an amount and request that your name or an acknowledgment accompany the grant.
Who to talk to: Your financial advisor or the DAF sponsor (such as your community foundation or brokerage charitable program). Ask: “Can you help me recommend a grant to Liberty’s Legacy Inc., EIN 47-4878985?”
Stocks & Securities
Publicly traded stocks and other eligible investments may be donated without first converting them to cash. Giving appreciated securities can have different tax consequences than selling shares and donating the proceeds. Ask us for confirmed receiving-brokerage instructions before initiating a transfer.
Who to talk to: Your financial advisor or broker, with your CPA/tax advisor. Ask about an in-kind charitable transfer and applicable tax treatment.
IRA Gifts & Distributions
If you are age 70½ or older, you may qualify to make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) directly from an eligible IRA to a qualified charity. A properly executed QCD may be excluded from taxable income. It generally cannot go to a donor-advised fund, and it must be sent according to the IRA custodian’s procedures.
Who to talk to: Your IRA custodian or retirement financial advisor and tax preparer. Ask: “Am I eligible for a direct IRA qualified charitable distribution?”
Cryptocurrency
Interested in giving Bitcoin, Ethereum, or another digital asset? We are exploring secure ways to receive cryptocurrency gifts. Please contact us before initiating a transfer; no wallet or processor should be used until we confirm it. Crypto gifts are noncash gifts, and donors may need a qualified appraisal for certain larger deductions.
Who to talk to: Your CPA/tax advisor and the charity’s giving team. Ask about gift timing, records, appraisal requirements and verified receiving instructions.
ASK ABOUT CRYPTO GIVING
No crypto wallet address is published until a verified receiving process is established.
Real Estate & Property
An outright gift of a home, acreage, ranch, investment property, or land could be a meaningful way to create a second chance. Some donors also explore donating an interest in property, making a bargain sale, or contributing property through a charitable trust. These transactions are highly individual; acceptance depends on title, debt, environmental conditions, costs, and nonprofit review.
Who to talk to: An independent real-estate/estate-planning attorney and CPA/tax advisor, before listing or signing a sale contract. Contact us before transferring title.
Business & Corporate Giving
Companies can support sanctuary care through direct contributions, sponsorships, employee-matching gifts, corporate foundations, payroll-giving programs, or gifts of needed goods and services. We welcome conversations about partnerships that align with our mission.
Who to talk to: Your company’s charitable giving, HR or corporate social-responsibility team; for substantial noncash gifts, your tax advisor.
A home, land or appreciated asset can become a legacy
Thinking about selling property? Start the charitable conversation first.
If you own a home, ranch, farm, acreage, investment property or other appreciated real estate—and want some of that value to help rescued horses—there may be several ways to approach the gift. Whether you have heirs or not, it is worth asking your own professionals before entering a sale agreement.
1. Outright gift of property
With the nonprofit's prior agreement, transfer the property itself rather than selling it first. The charity reviews title, loans, liabilities, environmental matters and expected costs; an appraisal and additional tax forms may be required. The donor's actual deduction depends on applicable law and facts.
2. Gift from property-sale proceeds
Sell the property yourself, then make a cash gift from the proceeds. This may be simpler administratively but is not the same tax transaction as gifting the property before the sale. Discuss any tax liability with your CPA.
3. Charitable remainder trust (CRT)
When appropriately planned before a binding sale, certain appreciated assets can be contributed to an irrevocable trust. The trust may then sell and invest the property and make regular payments to you or another beneficiary. Remaining assets later pass to named qualified charities.
4. Estate or trust beneficiary
Leave a property, specific amount, or share of your estate to the sanctuary in a will or trust. Your estate-planning attorney can make arrangements that account for your family, lifetime needs and intended charitable legacy.
How a charitable remainder trust works
For example, imagine someone owns appreciated acreage and wants ongoing income but ultimately wishes to support a sanctuary. An estate-planning attorney and tax professional might evaluate whether a charitable remainder trust is appropriate. The owner transfers the property into the trust; a trustee administers and may sell it; the trust pays income for life or a permissible term; and the remaining trust assets eventually pass to the named qualified charity.
Important: A CRT is irrevocable. It does not simply erase tax on a property sale. It may defer recognition of some gain at the trust level, while distributions to noncharitable beneficiaries can be taxable. There are legal, administrative, valuation and timing requirements, and a donation made after a sale has become binding may have different tax results. No particular savings are guaranteed.
Who should you speak to?
CPA or tax advisor
Ask about capital gains, cost basis, charitable deduction limits, appraisal requirements and the tax consequences of each option.
Estate-planning attorney
Ask whether a CRT, direct gift, will, trust or beneficiary designation fits your goals, and how timing affects a planned real-estate sale.
Financial advisor and nonprofit
Ask how much income and liquidity you need. Contact us before naming the nonprofit for a complex gift or arranging a property transfer.
Have property or assets that could make a difference?
Start with your own professional advisers. Then let us know what you are considering so we can assess whether the gift can be accepted.

Create a lasting impact
Legacy & planned giving
A future gift can help provide sanctuary long after today. You can explore these options with your estate-planning and financial advisers.
Gifts in a Will
You can choose to leave a fixed dollar amount, a percentage, a particular asset, or the remainder of an estate to Liberty’s Legacy Inc. dba Journey With Equus (EIN 47-4878985). A bequest lets you care for your own needs during your lifetime while planning future support for the horses.
Who to talk to: Your estate-planning attorney. Ask to include the nonprofit’s full legal name and EIN in your will.
Living Trusts & Beneficiary Gifts
A revocable living trust may name Journey With Equus as a charitable beneficiary when its terms are drafted correctly. Depending on your plan, you may designate a dollar amount, percentage, or remaining interest. This is different from establishing a charitable remainder trust.
Who to talk to: Your estate-planning attorney and the trustee who will administer the trust.
Retirement & Life Insurance Beneficiaries
You may be able to name our nonprofit as a full or partial beneficiary of an IRA, 401(k), other retirement account, or life insurance policy. These gifts typically transfer at death through the beneficiary designation, so the account or policy form matters as much as the estate plan.
Who to talk to: Your retirement-plan administrator, insurance agent, and estate-planning attorney. Ask how to add or update a nonprofit beneficiary.
Charitable Trusts
A charitable remainder trust (CRT) may provide income to an individual for life or a stated term, then distribute the remaining assets to one or more charities. A charitable lead trust generally pays charity first, with a remainder later going to other beneficiaries. These are distinct legal structures, not ordinary donation accounts.
Who to talk to: An estate-planning attorney experienced in charitable trusts, together with your CPA/tax advisor and financial planner. Ask which structure, if any, is appropriate for your assets and financial needs.
Endowment & Long-Term Funds
Consider a major gift intended to support feed, veterinary needs, programs, or long-term sanctuary security over multiple years. A restricted gift, reserve, or endowment must be documented and approved by the nonprofit to ensure its purpose can be honored.
Who to talk to: Your financial advisor or estate-planning attorney, then our nonprofit team to discuss a written gift agreement.
Make a Gift in Someone’s Honor
Remember a loved one or an extraordinary horse, celebrate a birthday, or honor someone who changed your life. You can make a tribute gift today and request an acknowledgment that reflects your intentions.
Who to talk to: Our giving team. For larger memorial or named funds, discuss a written gift agreement with us before making the contribution.
Charitable Lead Trusts
In a charitable lead trust, a qualified charity receives payments for a period and remaining assets later pass to beneficiaries chosen in the trust. This may be appropriate for some multigenerational plans but requires specialist design.
Who to talk to: An estate-planning attorney and tax advisor experienced with charitable trusts.
Life Estate in a Home or Farm
In some circumstances, an owner may donate a qualifying remainder interest in a personal residence or farm while retaining the right to use it for life. The legal and valuation rules are specialized. Do not transfer any interest without independent advice.
Who to talk to: An estate-planning and real-estate attorney, along with your CPA and the nonprofit.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity is an arrangement in which a donor contributes assets and receives contractually specified payments, with a charitable benefit. It is only possible when offered through a properly authorized organization or partner; Journey With Equus has not announced a gift-annuity program.
Who to talk to: Your financial advisor, attorney, and the charity to determine whether a qualifying arrangement is actually available.
Your legacy can be a second chance.
Let's talk about the kind of difference you want to make for the horses and the people whose lives they touch.
