Legacy of
Peace
By leaving a gift in your will, you transform a legacy of war into a permanent foundation for women to lead the world toward a lasting peace.
Leaving a Legacy: Your Questions Answered
1. Is my gift tax-deductible? Yes, in the UK, gifts to registered charities are 100% exempt from Inheritance Tax. In the US, charitable bequests are generally fully deductible for estate tax purposes.
2. Can it reduce my overall tax rate? In the UK, if you leave 10% or more of your net estate to ONA, the Inheritance Tax rate on the rest of your taxable assets can be reduced from 40% to 36%.
3. Do I need a new will? Not necessarily. You can often add a simple Codicil (a legal supplement) to your existing will to include a gift to ONA without rewriting the entire document.
4. What types of gifts can I leave? You can leave a Pecuniary Gift (a fixed sum), a Residuary Gift (a percentage of what remains after other costs), or a Specific Gift (an asset like a property or jewellery).
Your Legacy: A Lifeline for Generations
By leaving a gift in your will to the ONA Foundation, you provide a permanent promise of sanctuary - ensuring that no woman is forced to navigate the trauma of war alone.
Your kindness becomes the steady hand that guides her from the depths of psychological despair toward the light of a new, self-sufficient life.
This is more than a final gesture; it is an act of profound human solidarity that transforms your life's work into a continuing story of hope.
