Like us, you believe in a world where women and girls are safe, equal, and free. By including Equality Now in your estate plans, you can leave a legacy that ensures your values live on and your impact multiplies, and future generations of women and girls have more opportunities and full enjoyment of their human rights.
Leave a legacy of equality. To notify us of your planned gift or get support: supporters@equalitynow.org
The easiest way to make a bequest to Equality Now is through your will or living trust. A will is the cornerstone of any estate plan; it allows you to provide for your family and friends and/or donate a specific dollar amount, percentage of your estate, a particular asset like securities, or the residual of your estate to your charity of choice.
You can add Equality Now to your existing will or estate by revising and re-executing the document at any time, or by executing a separate amendment called a codicil. Simply provide your attorney with our legal name (Equality Now) and tax ID # 13-3660566.
Here is some recommended language for the most common kinds of bequests:
Sample Residuary Bequest: I give, devise and bequeath to Equality Now, all [or state the fraction or percentage] of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, to be used for its general purposes.”
Sample Bequest of Specific Amount or Asset: Equality Now, the sum of $_____ (or a description of the specific asset) to be used for its general purposes.
Retirement plans are taxed differently than other funds and can be the least favorable way to leave gifts to loved ones. Naming Equality Now as the beneficiary of your retirement assets is an easy way to create your legacy while making a tax-wise gift. This is applicable to any IRA, 401(k), or 403(b) plan or a bank or brokerage account eligible for “pay on death” or “transfer on death”.
If you donate all or a percentage of your life insurance balance to Equality Now, you can continue to make withdrawals during your lifetime. Your gift will only become effective when you and your spouse or partner no longer need the assets. You don’t need a will to contribute through life insurance. Simply update your beneficiary designation form with your financial institution or the insurance provider that manages your account with the information below.
