Create a Lasting Legacy: Your Bequest to Legacy Giving African Charity

At Africa’s Promise Village, we understand that a planned gift is a profound statement of values. It is a decision to transform the culmination of your life’s work into a permanent engine for change. By including APV in your will or trust, you ensure your compassion extends beyond your lifetime, securing the future of Africa Education and Community Development for generations of students.

Your legacy, managed under our 100% Direct Giving Model, guarantees that every cent of your bequest is used to fund tuition, health, and stability—a final gift that is entirely dedicated to the mission.

The Power of a Planned Gift

A planned gift is the ultimate investment in the future of the Promise Village Academy. Unlike an immediate donation, a bequest can be instrumental in funding major, long-term initiatives that secure the entire organization.

  • Fund the Endowment: A legacy gift can be used to establish a small endowment, securing the Feed One Child for One Year commitment ($240 per child) for years to come.

  • Guarantee Future Tuition: Bequests ensure APV can always honor its promise to fund the higher education of every graduate, securing the future of students 10, 20, or 50 years from now.

Ways to Include APV in Your Estate Planning

The most common way to make a Legacy Giving African Charity gift is through your will or trust. These methods are flexible, revocable, and simple to execute.

  • Specific Bequest: Designating a specific amount of cash or a specific asset (e.g., $10,000 or 100 shares of stock) to APV.

  • Residuary Bequest: Designating all or a percentage of the remainder of your estate, after all other bequests and expenses have been paid, to APV.

  • Contingent Bequest: Designating APV as a beneficiary only if another named beneficiary is unable to receive the gift.

Tax Benefits of Legacy Giving African Charity

Planned giving offers substantial tax advantages for your estate while making a monumental difference in the lives of our students.

  • Estate Tax Deduction: Bequests to APV are 100% deductible from your estate, which can significantly reduce the amount of your estate subject to federal estate taxes.

  • IRA/Retirement Assets: Naming APV as a beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement assets (like a 401k) can be highly tax-efficient. These assets are often subject to income tax if inherited by family members but pass to APV tax-free.

Other Planned Giving Options

  • Beneficiary Designation: Name APV as a beneficiary of a retirement account (IRA, 401k) or a life insurance policy. This is easy to execute and requires only a simple form with your plan administrator.

  • Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA): Transfer cash or assets to APV, receive fixed payments for life, and receive a current tax deduction. (Note: APV may partner with a financial institution to manage CGAs).
