Bequests
Leave a gift in your Will
A bequest of any amount to Give Freedom International is one of the most effective ways you can help us prepare for tomorrow and create a world without human trafficking for future generations.
Your powerful legacy will help give freedom to vulnerable women and children in trafficking hotspots—along with critical education, counselling and holistic support to rebuild their lives.
We know that leaving a charitable gift in your Will is a deeply personal decision—and that family and loved ones come first. We encourage you to talk with them about your intentions and why leaving the gift of freedom is important to you.
A legacy of freedom
Leaving a charitable gift in your Will, also called a bequest, is easier than you might think. But before we tell you how it’s done—we want to say THANK YOU.
Your estate represents a lifetime of hard work, challenges and triumphs. Which is why your decision to leave a legacy of freedom is nothing short of inspirational. Your generosity will change lives far beyond your lifetime.
How to include a gift
It’s important to use the correct wording when leaving a gift in your Will. We strongly recommend that you speak with a solicitor or legal representative who can guide you through the process and help ensure your wishes are legally upheld.
You can choose from four main gift types:
A residual gift
This is the remainder of your estate, or a percentage of the remainder, after all other expenses and gifts are dispersed.
A percentage of your estate
You can choose to give a percentage of your total assets (known as your “estate”).
A specific dollar amount
This is also called a pecuniary gift and is a specific contribution of cash funds.
A specific item
You can also choose to give a specific asset, such as real estate, shares or an artwork.
“Leaving a gift in our Will to Give Freedom International was one simple way for us to make sure our values and beliefs live on beyond our lifetimes—impacting future generations and leaving a legacy of hope, freedom and love that can make us and our families proud.”
