Make a bequest

By choosing to pass on all or part of your estate to Faith and  Light International, you enable us to continue our mission  around the world.

WHY BEQUEATH TO FAITH AND LIGHT INTERNATIONAL?

Faith and Light is founded on the belief that each person with an intellectual disability is fully a person with all the rights of a human being: above all the right to be loved, recognized and respected for himself or herself and in the choices he/she makes. (Charter, II, 1) 

HOW WILL YOUR LEGACY BE USED?

Making a bequest or donation to Faith and Light International is a way of supporting the movement and helps to
- support us to finance projects for the creation of communities throughout the world
- to set up formation sessions in the countries in need

 THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO GIVE TO FAITH AND LIGHT INTERNATIONAL

  • MAKE A BEQUEST: Making a bequest allows you to pass on all or part of your assets to the person of your choice (relatives, friends, associations, foundations, etc.). You need to draw up a will which should be filed with your notary. Your will can only take effect after your death. You will thus retain full ownership of your assets and be able to dispose of them as you wish.
     
  • MAKE A DONATION: A donation allows you to give, during your lifetime, an asset (real estate, furniture, money...) to the association. The donation takes the form of a deed signed at your notary's office between you and the beneficiary. It is irreversible, which means that you can no longer go back on the arrangements you have made. A donation can have significant tax advantages for the donor, such as a reduction in income tax for example.
     
  • SUBSCRIBING LIFE INSURANCE: Life insurance is a multi-purpose savings product that allows you to grow your capital, build up savings, prepare for retirement, etc. When you take out a life insurance policy, you will be asked if you wish to designate one or more beneficiaries in the event of death. This can be a natural person (children, grandchildren, friends...) and/or a legal entity such as the Faith and Light international association.
