There are many ways to support the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation. Gifts may be unrestricted in use, or you may specify that your gift be targeted to a particular group or purpose. As a donor, you can make an immediate gift, or you could choose to satisfy your commitment over a period of time.
Because the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation is a non-profit organization, most gifts qualify for a federal, and often state, income-tax charitable deduction. As with all financial considerations, we encourage you to discuss potential tax advantages and other aspects of charitable giving with your attorney, tax advisor or financial consultant.
Below is a list of the many ways you can support the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation. However you choose to give, you can be assured that your gift will allow us to aid and support the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of abused and abandoned dogs.
For in-depth information on any aspect of giving, please contact the Foundation Office at (818) 441-5040. A member of our staff will be pleased to answer your questions.

Gift Pledges --
A pledge is a formal statement of intention to make a gift to the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation. It may be followed by an immediate gift, or it may simply confirm your intention to make a gift in the future. Many donors choose to complete their gift pledge by making regular payments over a period of time. This method often allows donors to give more generously than they may have originally considered. Whenever possible, the Foundation will encourage full payment of pledges within five years of the original commitment. |
