Planned Giving and Legacy Gifts
Including SRAP in your will or trust is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact on communities and the environment while protecting the values that matter most to you. A legacy gift ensures that future generations will benefit from sustainable agriculture, clean water, and healthy communities.
A bequest is a provision in your will or trust that designates a specific amount, percentage, or asset to be given to SRAP after your passing. This type of gift provides a powerful opportunity to support our mission without affecting your assets during your lifetime.
Why consider a bequest?
- Flexibility: A bequest is revocable, allowing you to modify your gift at any time.
- No impact during your lifetime: It becomes effective only after your passing.
- Privacy: Your intentions remain private until your will is executed.
- Potential tax benefits: Bequests may provide federal estate tax deductions, reducing the tax burden on your loved ones (consult your tax advisor for details).
If you wish to name SRAP in your will, trust, or estate plan, you will need the following information:
- Legal Name: Socially Responsible Agriculture Project Inc.
- Address: 2093 Philadelphia Pike #4133, Claymont, DE 19703
- Tax identification number: 20-8688122
Work with your attorney to include the following designation language:
“I give, devise, and bequeath to Socially Responsible Agriculture Project, Inc., a nonprofit organization with Tax ID Number 20-8688122, located at 2093 Philadelphia Pike #4133, Claymont, DE 19703, the sum of $___ (or ___% of my estate, or specific assets) to be used for its general purposes.”
If you’ve included SRAP in your estate plans, please let us know. Sharing your plans allows us to honor your intentions and express our gratitude for your commitment to creating a more sustainable and equitable food system.
