Leave a Legacy Gift in Support of Independence Through Assistance Dog Partnership

Help Change Lives for Generations to Come…

For many people living with disabilities, an assistance dog means more than support, it means independence, confidence, safety, and connection.

A gift in your Will to IAAD can help ensure future generations have access to highly trained assistance dogs and life-changing partnerships that build independence and possibility.

Your legacy can continue creating impact long into the future.

Today. Tomorrow. For years to come.

Why Leave a Gift in Your Will?

Creating or updating your Will is an opportunity to reflect on the people and causes that matter most to you.

By including IAAD in your estate plans, you help:

  • Train future assistance dogs 

  • Expand access for individuals living with disabilities 

  • Support innovative assistance dog programming 

  • Strengthen long-term sustainability for IAAD 

  • Create lasting impact for families who rely on assistance dogs 

No matter the size, your gift helps build a future where more people can experience greater independence, dignity, and connection.

Ways to Leave a Legacy Gift

There are several ways to support IAAD through thoughtful estate planning.
