Humanity & Inclusion donors ensure that no one is left on the sidelines of aid!

Your tax-deductible donation helps people with disabilities, victims of natural disasters and conflict, and other communities facing extreme hardship to reclaim their lives and dignity.

We make every dollar you give count:

  $40 can provide psychosocial support to refugee families
  $75 can provide one year of physical therapy
  $150 can provide a custom-fit wheelchair

Your donation can also support our emergency actions, for instance delivering care through the projects Humanity & Inclusion has launched to respond to COVID-19.

Every gift, small or large, makes a real difference to the lives of people with disabilities around the world. Your gift will be used wherever the need is greatest.
Thank you.

Humanity & Inclusion

Co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, Humanity & Inclusion (the new name of Handicap International) is a 39-year-old independent and impartial aid organization working in situations of poverty, exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights. In 2020, donors helped Humanity & Inclusion bring direct aid and services to 3.9 million people in 59 countries.

Crowdfunding campaigns are an excellent way to raise money from friends and family members!

Ways to Give a Legacy Gift

Designating Accounts
Bequest
Freewill
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCDs)
Stock Donation

Designating Accounts

You can designate Humanity & Inclusion as a beneficiary for:

• Retirement plans
• Life insurance policies
• Donor-Advised Funds
• Commercial annuities
• Bank accounts

Making a beneficiary gift is a simple process:

      1. We recommend calling your plan administrator's customer service department. They can direct you to the beneficiary page on their website and help you complete the form in just a few minutes. Or, you can request to have a form mailed to you.

     2. On the beneficiary form, decide what percentage (up to 100%) you would like us to receive and name Humanity & Inclusion as the beneficiary. Please use our Federal Tax Identification number: 55-0914744 in place of a social security number.

Bequest

A simple way to establish your legacy is to designate Humanity & Inclusion as a beneficiary of your will and trust. You can do this by naming a specified dollar amount or asset, or even a percentage of your estate, in your estate plan.

Specific Bequests allow you to designate a percentage of your estate, a dollar amount, or specified assets as a gift to Humanity & Inclusion. 

Sample language:
I give, devise and bequeath __________ [state a % or $ amount, or specific property or other asset] to Humanity & Inclusion, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, to be used for its general purposes [or for a particular program or purpose]. 

Residual Bequests allow you to designate the remaining residue of your estate as a gift to Humanity & Inclusion, after the payment of all expenses and specific bequests to other beneficiaries have been made. 

Sample language: 
I give, devise and bequeath to Humanity & Inclusion, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, all [or state a percentage] of the rest and residue of my estate to be used for its general purposes [or for a particular
program or purpose].

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCDs)

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is for donors aged 70 1/2 and older to decrease their taxable income by donating directly from their IRA. You can avoid taxes on gifts up to $100,000 and it may satisfy your required minimum distribution for the year. 

How it works:

1. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your IRA to Humanity & Inclusion
2. Your IRA funds will be directly transferred to Humanity & Inclusion to help continue our important work
3. Please note that IRA charitable rollover gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction
4. Please contact us if you wish for your gift to be used for a specific purpose

Stock Donation

If you’re looking for a tax-smart way to leave your legacy, consider a gift of stock. When you give appreciated stock that you’ve owned for more than one year, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable income tax deduction when you itemize.

Make a lasting difference by recommending a grant from your donor-advised fund

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic giving tool that allows you contribute cash and other assets into an investment account that grows tax-free. You'll receive an immediate tax deduction for your contributions and can recommend grants to be distributed by your DAF's sponsoring organization over time to your charity of choice, like Humanity & Inclusion. By utilizing a donor-advised fund, you can benefit from tax incentives while creating a lasting legacy through strategic giving.

If you've already set up a DAF, Humanity & Inclusion offers a few easy ways to facilitate grant-making from your fund.

DAF Widget

Find your DAF, and set up a one-time, or recurring grant to Humanity & Inclusion.

Recommend a grant distribution to HI

Ask your DAF sponsoring organization to send your gift to Humanity & Inclusion by mail

Please make checks payable to Humanity & Inclusion (note that our legal name remains Handicap International (dba Humanity & Inclusion).  

Humanity & Inclusion
8757 Georgia Ave
Suite 420
Silver Spring, MD 20901
EIN/tax ID number: 55-0914744

Please provide your name and/or fund name and address so we can thank you for your generous gift.

Establish a recurring monthly or quarterly gift

Magnify your generosity through regular gifts. If you're already a regular donor, you can set up your gifts to come from your DAF instead of your checking account or credit card.

Name Humanity & Inclusion as a remainder beneficiary of your fund

Establish a succession plan for the remainder amount in your DAF, sharing your philanthropic values with your loved ones, and ensuring your leadership gift can benefit generations to come. You can directly identify a charity like Humanity & Inclusion as a remainder beneficiary on your DAF, rather than using another estate-planning tool like your will.

Let us know!

Sometimes, DAF gifts arrive without information identifying the generous donor.

We always honor the requests of our donors, but if you perhaps set a gift to be anonymous in error, and haven't heard from us (we love to say Thanks!), then please let us know so we can shower you with some appreciation.   

Please reach out at any time! Simply contact Mica Bevington, U.S. Director of Communications and Development, at (240)450-3531 or [email protected].
