Planned Giving

Making a Difference for Generations

Legacy giving is an easy way to support Play for Peace’s mission long into the future. Gifts through your will, trust, or as a beneficiary of your retirement account, life insurance, or other assets are easy ways to make an impact now without making an immediate contribution.

"Your Legacy Gift will help us triumph over conflict and violence globally!"

By including Play for Peace in your estate plans, you create a legacy of compassion, joy, and peace that will continue to touch lives for years to come. Planned gifts ensure that young people in communities around the world can keep building friendships across divides and triumphing over conflict and violence.

A planned gift doesn’t require an immediate contribution. Instead, it’s an easy, meaningful way to make a lasting impact through your will, trust, retirement account, life insurance, or other assets.

By giving a planned gift you will automatically join the Play for Peace Legacy Circle - a group of visionary givers who want to ensure the lasting legacy of Play for Peace.

Include Play for Peace in Your Will or Trust

You can choose to leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular asset to Play for Peace. You may also designate a portion of your estate that remains after other commitments are fulfilled.

Sample bequest language:

“I hereby bequeath to Play for Peace, a non-profit corporation, headquartered in Chicago, IL, USA, and with a tax identification number 36-4254565, [insert percentage of estate or dollar amount] to be used for general purposes as determined by the Board of Directors.”
