The ¿ìèÊÓƵ Legacy Society
Legacy Society members support ¿ìèÊÓƵ’s mission by including a charitable bequest to ¿ìèÊÓƵ in their will. Including ¿ìèÊÓƵ in your planned giving will leave a lasting legacy in the fight to end the African book famine. Â
Create a living legacy that will last for generationsÂ
The ¿ìèÊÓƵ Legacy Society provides the promise of education to children in Africa. Legacy Society Members offer a sustainable, enduring gift of books for generations to come. As a member of the society, ¿ìèÊÓƵ recognizes you as a committed donor who has planned to leave a gift in their will (or other legacy gift) to ¿ìèÊÓƵ. Â
Why Join?
Legacy giving allows ¿ìèÊÓƵ to plan for future growth and to increase our books shipped year after year. A planned gift can:Â
- Maximize donation impact while minimizing financial impact on your estateÂ
- Be exempt from estate tax (bequests or beneficiary designations)Â
- Be used to establish a memorial library in your family’s nameÂ
Next StepsÂ
To make the process of planned giving easy, . It can walk you through writing your will online and helps you make a planned gift of any amount to ¿ìèÊÓƵ in your will!Â
If you’ve already included ¿ìèÊÓƵ in your estate plan, so we can update our records and thank you for building your legacy with us.Â
Additionally, if you’d like to donate non-probate assets like an IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy, to name ¿ìèÊÓƵ as a beneficiary to these assets.
If you would like to learn more, please call or email Erin Moran at 651-393-7051 or erin@booksforafrica.org. We will provide a welcome letter and include correspondence and events for our top donors so that you can see the impacts of your future giving, today!
