What is FreeWill?
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Why planned giving?
By investing in the work of the WMU Foundation, my husband Tommy and I are helping to ensure the future of WMU and how it shares the love of Christ through its organizations and projects. Won’t you join us in continuing the wonderful legacy of Woman’s Missionary Union by donating to the WMU Foundation?
Give through your will
A simple bequest in your will is one of the easiest methods of planned giving. Here is sample language to include in your will.
Give through your life insurance policy or
retirement plan
You can designate the WMU Foundation as a beneficiary or co-beneficiary of your life insurance policy or your retirement plan. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate the WMU Foundation as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
Give through your donor advised fund
With over 120 funds and endowments to choose from, you can support your missions passion with your selected distributions.
Give through your IRA
Most people have heard of the benefits of naming a 501(c)(3) charity as a beneficiary of their IRA, but did you know that you can also make a gift from your IRA while still alive?
Contact us for more information about planned giving through annuities, charitable remainder trusts, or revocable living trusts. We are happy to talk with you about your specific needs.
Leave a legacy through your missions passion:
Have you considered leaving a missions legacy by including WMU and/or the WMU Foundation in your estate plans? You can leave a gift to God’s mission through your will, a trust, a Charitable Gift Annuity, 401K or other retirement plan, or through a life insurance policy.

When you include WMU or the WMU Foundation in your estate plans, you are automatically a part of our legacy society, the 1888 Circle. As a member of the 1888 Circle, the mission of God will someday be enhanced by a gift from your estate. Your planned gift is an ongoing way for you to provide for the future needs of WMU and God’s mission. Join other mission-minded donors like yourself in making a lasting missions impact.
