Creating a Legacy Through Planned Giving

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. You can also leave a legacy by naming Women for Women International as beneficiary of a life insurance policy or a retirement plan (such as IRA or 401(k) plan). 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 rsegree@womenforwomen.org to learn more.

Bequests

The easiest way to make a bequest to Women for Women International is through your will or living trust. You can list a specific dollar amount, a particular asset, such as securities or real estate, or leave a percentage of your estate, or the residual of your estate, after providing for loved ones.

I give, devise, and bequeath to Women for Women International, 2000 M Street NW, Suite 750-A, Washington, DC 20036, all [or state the fraction or percentage] of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, for its general purposes.

Gifts of Stock and Securities

Donating stock or securities is a great way to support Women for Women International while receiving potential tax benefits. You could earn a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities and avoid capital gains tax on securities that have increased in value, provided you have owned them for one year.

Please alert us in advance by providing the donor's name and contact information, stock name, symbol and number of shares you plan to donate, so that we can ensure that you receive a tax receipt and acknowledgement.
