Make a Gift That Keeps on Giving

One of the best ways to create a lasting impact on the world is to join FINCA’s Legacy Society and make a planned gift that will support village bankers for generations to come. Bequests to FINCA are about planning for the future:  your future and the future of the world's lowest-income entrepreneurs.

By including FINCA in your will or estate plan, you can help us change lives by providing people the financial services they need to create jobs, build assets and improve their standard of living. You can rest assured that your bequest will make a statement about what you believe is important – that providing a hand up rather than a hand out can truly impact the women who receive FINCA microloans today, and thousands more who will receive them in the future. Because your gift will ensure that people born into lesser circumstances have the opportunity to work their way out of poverty, your bequest becomes a testament to your belief that, when given access to financial services, low-income entrepreneurs can – and do – create better lives for themselves and their families.

Your planned gift becomes part of a perpetual cycle of loan capital, multiplying in impact countless times. Each planned gift enables FINCA to make a microloan to a deserving woman to start, or expand, her small business.  As she builds her business and repays her loan, new funds become available for another woman to start changing her life. A bequest to FINCA provides the means for your final gift to join this perpetual cycle, so that your generosity can make a lasting difference in the lives of future generations throughout the world.

Your bequest may also offer you or your loved ones important financial benefits. To learn how including FINCA in your will or estate plans may reduce your estate or capital gains taxes, or provide income for yourself or your loved ones—while you change the world with your legacy—please contact Scott Leurquin at  (2..., ext. 250, or via email at sleurquin@villagebanking.org.
