Planned Giving for AVI USA
Does Your Will or Estate Plan Include a Donation to Auroville International USA?
Planned Giving
Planned giving is a great way to ensure that some of the assets you leave behind nourish the future work and aspirations of Auroville International USA and the projects we support in Auroville.
There are many ways to approach this, depending on your unique circumstances. You can include a donation directly in your will or trust, or you can designate Auroville International USA as a beneficiary in your retirement, bank or investment accounts, or your life insurance policy.
We have two funds that you can support with your planned gift: the AVI USA General Fund, and the AVI USA Permanent Endowment. Donations to the General Fund allow AVI USA flexibility to respond to emergent needs, and donation to the Permanent Endowment guarantee that your gift will continue to support AVI USA in perpetuity.

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.
