Planned Gifts Planned gifts benefit Pura Vida Ministries at a later time, after your death or the death of your last named beneficiary. Planned gifts take many forms, reducing income and estate taxes, and helping to fulfill your personal and charitable objectives. Planned gifts can be made in cash, real estate, stocks, bonds or life insurance. Bequests by Will One of the simplest planned gifts is a bequest through your will. You can designate either a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate to Pura Vida Ministries. Not only does your bequest benefit Pura Vida, but a bequest by will serves as an example to your heirs of your generosity and your belief in a brighter future for the children of Guatemala. A bequest may also reduce the amount of your taxable estate. Simply advise your attorney that you wish to name Pura Vida as a recipient your estate proceeds. We are happy to speak directly with your estate counsel to insure that your bequest is communicated in your will. If you have already left Pura Vida Ministries a bequest through your will, please let us know.
