To effectively pursue the WBA Foundation's mission of meeting the legal needs of women and girls in the DC area, we must ensure the Foundation's long-term financial vitality. Planned gifts can help you support the Foundation and its mission in a significant way in the future without affecting your current income or savings.

​

Did you know that you can make a gift to the Foundation that costs you nothing during your lifetime, but that is priceless as part of the legacy you leave behind? 

 

• Name the WBA Foundation as a beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy, a retirement or investment account, or a charitable annuity;

• Establish a bequest through your will or trust;

• Establish a charitable trust that supports the WBA Foundation and your loved ones

​

Your attorney or financial planner can work with you to identify other ways to support the WBA Foundation and provide tax savings while possibly leaving more assets to your heirs. 

​

The growth of the WBA Foundation's endowment depends primarily on gifts from bequests. Please consider including the WBA Foundation in your estate planning and let us know if you have already named the Foundation as a beneficiary. Thank you!
