Leave a legacy that inspires.
At the Obama Foundation, our mission is to inspire, empower, and connect people to change their world. By including the Obama Foundation in your estate plan, you can help us carry that mission into the future for generations to come.
How it Works
A bequest can be made with cash, securities, or other assets, and can be in the form of a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or residual balance. You can make changes to your bequest at any time, and your assets remain in your control during your lifetime. The Foundation receives the gift only when your estate is distributed. Bequests are fully tax deductible for estate tax purposes.
