Support the Legacy of Adi Da Samraj
Support the Legacy of Adi Da Samraj
By including Adidam as beneficiary in your will, trust, or other planned-giving instrument, you help to support all areas of Avatar Adi Da’s Work. This page guides you through a three-step process to complete a planned gift in support of the His Work.
First, decide how and when you would like to make a planned gift.
A variety of instruments can be used for planned giving: wills, living trusts, charitable trusts, life insurance policies, pay-on-death accounts, retirement plans, and so on. In each case, you can designate one or more organizational entities as beneficiaries of your charitable gifts. Visit the Sacred Organizations page for more details on the sacred organizational entities established by Avatar Adi Da Samraj. Contact the Samrajya Patronage Development Office for further information about planned giving options in other countries.
Make an inventory of the assets that will comprise your estate. A variety of assets can be donated as planned gifts to support the Work of Avatar Adi Da Samraj, such as cash and liquid securities. Other assets—such as real property, art, or collectibles, as well as intangible assets such as copyrights, patents, or royalties—constitute special types of gifts. Please study the Gift Acceptance Guidelines and contact the Samrajya Patronage Development Office if you have a special type of gift.
Please consult with your financial and legal specialists to understand your planned giving options and to determine the best approach for your situation.
Second, decide which aspect(s) of the legacy of Avatar Adi Da Samraj you would like to contribute to. You can make a bequest of any amount to one or more of the Adidam organizational entities, and designate more than one entity as beneficiary. Step III provides the formal names, addresses, and tax identification numbers for all the Adidam organizational entities.
Gifts that can be allocated to purposes whose needs are greatest are especially appreciated. The Adidam Ruchiradam Fund and Adidam Ruchiradam Endowment* are “umbrella” funds whose purpose is to support all areas of Avatar Adi Da’s Work.
*The endowment assets are kept invested while the investment income is available for use. This allows for the donation to have an impact over a longer period than if it were used all at once.
The table below provides a list of planned-giving opportunities.
