Legacy Giving
Consider Your Legacy
Your legacy can extend beyond borders, helping women and girls rise up from extreme poverty to reach their potential.
Including Mercy Beyond Borders in your will or estate plans ensures that your commitment to shaping a better world for women and girls lives on.
Populations mired in extreme poverty reside in what may seem to be intractable situations, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and Haiti.
That’s where we work. That’s where your legacy grows. There are no overnight solutions, which is why gifts to our legacy society, Giving Beyond, are so crucial.
We’re here for the long-term, and you are too, by including us in your legacy plans.
