Legacy Giving
A Gift That Outlives You
Planned giving, bequests, and endowments that create lasting change for generations.
Planned Giving
Build Something Permanent
Legacy giving allows you to make a transformative impact that extends far beyond your lifetime. Whether through a bequest in your will, a charitable trust, or an endowment, your planned gift ensures that families continue to receive food, education, and medical care for generations.
In Islam, Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity) is among the most rewarded forms of giving. A legacy gift is the ultimate expression of this principle -- your generosity continues earning reward even after you pass.
