Leave a Lasting Mark With A Legacy Gift
By leaving a legacy gift to StoveTeam International, you help ensure that our work continues for generations—providing families with cleaner air, protecting their loved ones, and building healthier, more sustainable communities.
There are many ways to support StoveTeam’s mission, but legacy giving is unique. It is a gift that extends beyond your lifetime—an enduring commitment that transforms lives for years to come. Your legacy becomes part of the story of families who no longer have to cook over dangerous open fires, children who grow up in safe, smoke-free homes, and communities that thrive with healthier futures.
One way to build a legacy that transforms kitchens into safe places where families can come together for years to come is by including a gift in your will or trust. To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
Another way to establish your legacy with StoveTeam is by naming us as a beneficiary of one or more non-probate assets outside of your will. These include your 401(k), IRA, and life-insurance policy. FreeWill can also help you plan for all of your non-probate assets.
“Leaving a lasting financial legacy is an extremely personal decision. How can I best leverage the value of my estate to directly and positively impact a great number of people for many years to come? I sifted through dozens of non-profits locally, nationally, and internationally before finally choosing StoveTeam International. They are a grassroots oriented organization that makes a profound impact on the families receiving their stoves and the stove builders they train and hire from rural communities. Their Justa program is a well developed stove project that is centered on community participation and is elevated through a rigorous monitoring and evaluation program, which enables them to continue to better serve their communities, and makes me proud to include them in my legacy.”
