Gift Planning

Change Lives Without Touching Your Income

Do you want to support Hindu Heritage Endowment, but feel overwhelmed by everyday living costs, such as the kids' education, see-sawing gas prices and the latest home repair?

A Planned Gift: A Worry-Free Solution
There's another way to give besides writing a check—known as planned giving—that can help you meet your financial goals. Planned gifts, which are donations made through your long-term estate or financial plans, have two main benefits:

They are generally deferred until after your lifetime, so your current income or assets aren't affected.
With many planned gifts, you have the right to change your mind at any time throughout your lifetime.

Quiz: Making a Planned Gift Work for You

The easiest and most popular way to support Hindu Heritage Endowment while putting your family's current financial needs first is to include a gift in your will or revocable living trust, which is called a bequest. You can leave us a percentage of your estate—1 to 100 percent—so that no matter how the size of your estate changes over the years, gifts to your family and charities remain proportionate.

It takes as little as one sentence—known as bequest language—in your will or trust to complete your gift. And that one sentence has the power to support Hindu Heritage Endowment for years to come.

The official legal bequest language for Hindu Heritage Endowment is: "I give [percentage of my estate, stated sum of money, designated property or balance of estate] to the [insert name of fund] of Hindu Heritage Endowment, a charitable trust whose Federal Employer Identification Number is 99-0308924, located at 107 Kaholalele Road, Kapaa, Hawaii, 96746-9304, USA."
