Make a Planned Gift
Leave a legacy of dignity and hope for generations to come.
A Gift That Outlives the Moment
A planned gift is one of the most powerful ways to support our mission allowing you to make a lasting impact on communities in crisis, long after your lifetime. By including LEAD International Development in your will, trust, or estate plan, you help ensure our work in education, health and humanitarian response continues for generations to come.
Planned gifts often allow donors to give more significantly than they could through immediate contributions, while also providing potential tax benefits for you and your family. Whether it's a percentage of your estate, a specific asset, or the remainder of a trust, every planned gift becomes part of a lasting legacy one that stands beside vulnerable communities long into the future.
Our team is here to work with you and your financial or legal advisor to structure a gift that reflects your values and financial goals, while creating real, lasting change for the people we serve.
