The ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ Legacy Society

Legacy Society members support ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½â€™s mission by including a charitable bequest to ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ in their will. Including ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½Â in your planned giving will leave a lasting legacy in the fight to end the ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½n book famine.  

Create a living legacy that will last for generations 

The ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ Legacy Society provides the promise of education to children in ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½. Legacy Society Members offer a sustainable, enduring gift of books for generations to come. As a member of the society, ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ recognizes you as a committed donor who has planned to leave a gift in their will (or other legacy gift) to ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½.

  • Maximize donation impact while minimizing financial impact on your estate 
  • Be exempt from estate tax (bequests or beneficiary designations)
