Legacy Gifts
A Legacy Gift, also known as a planned gift or bequest, is a donation that a person arranges to give to a nonprofit or charity after their lifetime, typically through their will or estate plan.
Leaving a legacy gift to EEESMA School for the Deaf is one of the most powerful ways to ensure that Deaf children in Mexico have access to education, communication, and a brighter future. Your legacy, no matter the size, will live on in the lives of children who, without EEESMA, might never have the chance to learn in their own language or reach their full potential.
Legacy gifts can take several forms, including:
-a specific amount of money or a percentage of an estate named in a will,
-stocks, property, or other assets,
-life insurance or retirement plan beneficiary designations
You may feel that your current resources don’t allow for a donation today, but a legacy gift, included in your will or estate plans, can make a lasting and deeply meaningful difference when the time comes. Every gift matters. Every gesture of generosity plants a seed of hope that will grow for generations.
Your legacy could sponsor a Deaf child’s education from their first day of school through graduation, opening doors to literacy, confidence, and independence. It could provide safe, reliable transportation for students who travel from rural communities each day, or even help EEESMA acquire a school building of its own, securing a permanent and sustainable future for this vital institution.
By including EEESMA in your legacy plans, you become part of a circle of kindness that continues long after your lifetime, transforming challenges into opportunities, and silence into communication, connection, and joy. Your legacy can change lives. Let it speak the language of love, learning, and possibility for generations of Deaf children to come.
Talking your bequest through with your kids/family members is a crucial step. Explain that your charitable donation will offset taxes on the estate. They’ll be happy to see it go somewhere other than the tax collector! Discuss your wish to include a gift to EEESMA in your will with your estate planner/legal representative. They are in the best position to guide you in the process.
