Create a Legacy Gift

You can make a difference in the lives of women for years to come by making a legacy gift to the Kateri Tekakwitha Fund. We invite you to include this work in your financial planning and support our long-term impact.

Why Make a Legacy Gift

If you’re already a supporter of the Kateri Tekakwitha Fund, you probably believe in the Fund’s mission. For over 30 years, the organization has supported Indigenous women in Guatemala to reach their educational and career goals. Starting from one single scholarship, the programs have developed to fund scholarships, coordinate internships, support economic empowerment, and provide mentorship to the many women who have been involved over the years.

Our team is passionate about continuing this work into the future. Many of the leaders were program participants themselves and have a desire to give back to others, understanding well the challenges that these young women face. However, this work relies on continued support to fund the programs and the staff who work hard to carry them out.

A legacy gift can contribute to these programs into the future, ensuring that this work will continue and that more women will be supported as they strive to reach their dreams.

How to Give

Legacy gifts can include bequests, charitable trusts, annuities, and more.

When creating a will or trust with your attorney or financial advisor, you can use similar language to the example below:

I give to Kateri Tekakwitha Mission Fund Inc., Tax I.D. # 65-0812097, [dollar amount or percentage of estate residue] for its general purposes.

Legal Name: Kateri Tekakwitha Mission Fund Inc.

Tax I.D.: 65-0812097

Address: P.O. Box 906, Pacifica, CA 94044
