Give To The Future
When you include AVI USA in your estate plans, we warmly welcome you into the Seeds of the Future Circle — our community of friends who are planting today what the future will grow.
We’d love to welcome you personally.
Notify us of your gift or email us with any questions.
Legacy Gifts
A gift through your estate is a meaningful way to ensure that the assets you leave nourish the future work of AVI USA and the project partners whose work embodies the founding ideals of Auroville — understanding and peace, unending education, conscious spiritual evolution, and Earth stewardship.
You can include a donation directly in your will, trust, or equivalent estate document, or designate AVI USA as a beneficiary in your retirement or pension accounts, bank or investment accounts, or your life insurance policy.
The most flexible and impactful way to support AVI USA’s work is to donate to our General Fund. This gives our Board the ability to direct your gift where it’s needed most.
We also accept gifts designated to our Permanent Endowment. Learn more here.
Longtime friend of Auroville and AVI USA board member, Maggie Greer, takes about her legacy gift and wishes for Auroville.
Maggie first visited Auroville in the 70’s and her connection with her true home has endured.
Other Legacy Gifts for AVI USA
Celebration of Life Fundraiser
The first Legacy Gift we received was a Celebration of Life Fundraiser created by Board member Bryan Walton for Malarchi Boarding School. His fundraiser ensured the continuation of Malarchi.
Beneficiary Designation
Another type of gift can be through a Designation of Beneficiary, on financial accounts or life insurance. This greatly simplifies the giving process.
