A gift to EveryPet through a retirement plan (IRA, 401(k), 403(b), Keogh, or other qualified retirement plan) is one of the easiest and most tax-effective ways to ensure a strong future for EveryPet and the thousands of animals we help each year. Such assets, if given to an individual, would be subject to various kinds of taxes, but if given to a charity such as EveryPet, they would not be taxed.
