Gift & Estate Planning
Create your legacy with Project HOPE
Give HOPE with a Gift in Your Will or Estate Plan
For more than 65 years, Project HOPE has transformed the health and well-being of people and communities around the world. We work hand-in-hand with local health workers and health systems across five continents to provide urgent relief and transformative solutions that drive lasting impact.
We believe local health workers are the backbone of strong health systems. When every second counts in an emergency, we deliver the tools and training they need to provide care.
A gift in your will ensures that health care workers around the world have the support they need to save lives.

Ways to Give
A Gift in Your Will or Living Trust
Make a lasting impact
Leaving a gift or bequest to Project HOPE is simple. You can designate a percentage of your estate, a specific dollar amount, or a percentage of what remains after your loved ones are provided for.
To ensure your gift reaches us, please use the following wording in your will or trust document.
“I give [description of gift] to Project HOPE, The People-to-People Health Foundation, a nonprofit organization incorporated in the state of Washington, DC Federal Tax ID #53-0242962, for its general use and purpose.”
Gifts By Beneficiary Designation
An easy way to make a meaningful gift – without changing your will
You can support Project HOPE by naming us as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, donor-advised fund (DAF), life insurance policy, or other financial account, such as a bank or brokerage account.
To get started, simply request a beneficiary form from your financial institution. Use the following information when naming Project HOPE as a beneficiary:
Legal Name: Project HOPE – The People-to-People Health Foundation, Inc.
Address: 1101 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036
Federal Tax ID: 53-0242862
Charitable Remainder Trust
Receive regular income while supporting Project HOPE
A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) is an irrevocable trust that pays you or a beneficiary you name annual income for life or for a fixed term. When the trust ends, the remaining assets will go to Project HOPE.
Benefits of a CRT:
- Steady income stream for yourself or your beneficiaries
- Immediate (current year) charitable income tax deduction
- Reduction or elimination of capital gains taxes when selling appreciated assets
Support Project HOPE in a meaningful and lasting way
To establish a CRT, consult with your attorney or financial advisor. If you have questions, please contact us at giftplanning@projecthope.org
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable donation that gives back to you
When you purchase a charitable gift annuity (CGA), you make a cash gift (minimum $10,000) to Project HOPE. We agree to pay you a fixed income for life. After your lifetime, the remaining funds stay with Project HOPE to support our mission. Charitable gift annuities are available to individuals who are over 65 years of age. CGAs will be considered case-by-case, based on individual circumstances.
Benefits of a CGA:
- Steady income stream for the rest of your life
- Immediate charitable income tax deduction
- Potential for a portion of the income stream to be tax-free
- Lasting support for Project HOPE
To learn more about establishing a CGA, or to receive current annuity rates, contact us at giftplanning@projecthope.org
