Ways to Give / Planned giving

Leave a legacy with Fundamaya

Your values can live on. A planned gift helps Maya communities thrive for generations.

Planned (or legacy) giving lets you make a future gift through your estate or financial plans. These gifts often cost nothing today and may offer tax or estate-planning benefits, depending on where you live.

Ways to make a legacy gift

1. A gift in your will or trust

Leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or what remains after providing for loved ones. Simple to set up or change, with no impact on your finances today.

2. Beneficiary designations

Name Fundamaya as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy or donor-advised fund. Easy to arrange and often tax-efficient.

3. Gifts of appreciated assets

Stocks, securities or real estate may reduce capital gains exposure and increase the impact of your gift.

4. Legacy or endowment-style gifts

Larger or designated gifts that keep community programs strong through uncertain times and guided by community priorities.

Sample bequest language

“I give to Fundamaya, a nonprofit organization (EIN 85-3703498), the sum of _________ (or _______% of my estate) to be used to support its mission of strengthening Indigenous Maya communities in Guatemala.”

Please consult your attorney or financial advisor when preparing your estate plans.
