Legacy Giving
Winston Churchill famously said,
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
Your gift is not just a donation—it is a statement that you believe in a world that is more just, more compassionate, and more supportive for all.
A powerful way to support The Wish Project’s mission is through Legacy Giving. This type of philanthropy, also known as planned giving or bequest giving, is the act of making a charitable donation to The Wish Project through your will or estate plan. This type of giving allows you to leave a lasting impact on The Wish Project’s mission for years to come, while also providing benefits to you. These may include tax breaks for you or the beneficiaries of your estate, and the opportunity to specify exactly how you want your gift to be used, ensuring that your money goes toward an aspect of our mission that you’re especially inspired by.
Types of legacy gifts can include:
Bequests: A bequest is a gift a donor gives through their will, whether that be cash, property, stocks, or a portion of their estate. This is the most common and often simplest type of legacy gift for donors.
Life Insurance: Donors can designate The Wish Project as one of the beneficiaries of their life insurance policy.
Retirement Fund: Donors can designate The Wish Project as one of the beneficiaries of their retirement assets, like their IRA, 401(k), or pension.
Retained Life Estates: A donor gives a piece of property to The Wish Project that they own but can still use during their lifetime. Once the donor passes, the organization can choose to sell or keep that piece of property.
Other examples of legacy gifts include Charitable Gift Annuities, and Charitable Remainder Trusts, among others.
