Remembering Women for Women International in your will is a powerful way to leave a meaningful legacy for women survivors of war and may also have tax benefits.

Of course, your personal financial situation is unique, so you should be sure to talk to your financial or legal advisor before making a bequest or creating a legacy. Please reach out to us at lallen@womenforwomen.org to learn more.
