The Umurage Legacy Circle
Umurage means legacy in Kinyarwanda, and the members of our Umurage Legacy Circle are creating a lasting legacy of healing, education, and love. By planning a future gift to ASYV through their estates, Circle members help ensure that we can continue serving vulnerable youth in Rwanda for generations.
A gift in your will or trust
To include ASYV in your will or living trust, we suggest including the following language:
“I give to the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village a not-for-profit institution incorporated by the laws of the State of New York, having as its principal address of 234 Fifth Avenue, New York, 10001, federal tax identification number (EIN): 27-3530769 [the sum of $__ or __% of my estate or residuary estate] to be used for its general purposes.”
Looking for other ways to include ASYV in your legacy plans?
IRA or Retirement Funds
Making ASYV a partial or full beneficiary of any of your retirement assets is not only easy, it's a tax-wise way to leave a charitable bequest.
Contact your retirement plan administrator, bank, or financial institution for a change-of-beneficiary form. Decide what percentage (1 to 100) you would like ASYV to receive and name us along with the percentage you chose on the beneficiary form. Include the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village federal tax ID#: 27-3530769.
Return the completed form to your plan administrator, insurance company, bank, or financial institution.
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can also use your IRA to benefit the students of ASYV today. Contact the financial institution where your IRA is held to arrange a Qualified Charitable Distribution or a Required Minimum Distribution to ASYV.
Insurance Policy
You can make ASYV a partial or full beneficiary of your life insurance policy. Contact your insurance administrator and ask for a beneficiary form.
Life Income Gifts
Through a Charitable Gift Annuity or a Charitable Remainder Trust, you can provide income for life for you and/or a loved one while also supporting ASYV. Contact legacy@asyv.org for additional information.
