Leave a gift to 84000 in your will or estate plan
Help keep the Buddha’s words freely available for generations to come.
A future gift can support 84000’s work without affecting your finances today. You can give any amount or percentage, and you can change your plans as life changes.
What is a legacy gift?
A legacy gift is a donation you arrange now for 84000 to receive in the future, usually through a will, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy, or another beneficiary designation. It is also called a planned gift or bequest.
Nothing to give today
Your assets remain available to you throughout your lifetime.
Flexible as life changes
You can revise a will, trust, or beneficiary choice as often as you like.
Every gift matters
A specific amount, percentage, or remainder can make a difference.
Choose what fits you
Two simple ways to leave a future gift
Both options let you care for the people closest to you first while extending your support for 84000 into the future.
Include 84000 in your will or trust
Leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or part of what remains after gifts to loved ones have been made.
- Choose an amount, percentage, or share of the remainder.
- Share your wishes with your family or others close to you.
- Ask your attorney or estate-planning professional to add the gift.
- Give your adviser 84000’s information and sample wording.
Name 84000 as a beneficiary
You may be able to name 84000 on a retirement account, life insurance policy, bank account, or other eligible asset—usually without changing your will.
- Request a beneficiary form from the company managing the account or policy.
- Name 84000 and choose the percentage you would like it to receive.
- Submit the form and keep a copy with your estate documents.
- Review your choices after major life changes.
Tax considerations: Tax treatment varies by asset, location, and individual circumstances. Please ask your legal, tax, or financial adviser what is appropriate for you.

Common questions
Have any questions?
No. You can leave any amount or a percentage of your estate or account. A percentage can help keep your gift in proportion to your estate as its value changes.
A gift through your will or a beneficiary designation generally does not transfer to 84000 during your lifetime, so your assets remain available to you. Other planned-giving arrangements may work differently; consult your adviser.
Yes. Gifts made through a revocable will, trust, or beneficiary designation can generally be changed. Ask your attorney or account provider how to update your documents.
Beneficiary forms can often be completed directly with the company managing an account or policy. For a will or trust, 84000 recommends working with a qualified attorney or estate-planning professional.
Either can work. A specific gift states a fixed amount. A percentage or residual gift adjusts as the value of your estate changes and can help you provide for loved ones first.
There may be, depending on where you live, the asset you give, and your individual circumstances. 84000 does not provide legal or tax advice. Please consult a qualified adviser in your jurisdiction.
Unrestricted gifts give 84000 the greatest flexibility to meet future needs. If you are considering a gift for a specific purpose, please contact us before finalizing your plans so we can confirm that 84000 can honor your wishes.
No. Notifying us is optional. If you do tell us, the information helps us thank you, understand your wishes, and plan responsibly. Your notification is not legally binding.
Often, yes, but estate and tax laws vary by country. Please consult an adviser who understands the law where you live and contact us for the appropriate organizational information.
