A planned gift to URI is one of the most meaningful ways to extend your commitment to peace, justice, and healing far into the future.
“You have spent your life working toward a better world. A legacy gift to URI lets that work continue long after you are gone, across communities you may never visit, through people who will never know your name but will feel your impact.”
Legacy gifts, also called planned gifts or bequests, are charitable contributions arranged in advance, usually as part of your will, estate plan, or retirement accounts. They cost nothing today, require no change to how you live, and can be as simple or carefully structured as you choose.
Every year, gifts from URI's Legacy Circle make it possible for us to sustain our network of Cooperation Circles, develop new peacebuilding programs, and reach communities that need us most. We are deeply grateful to the donors who have chosen to include URI in their plans, and we would be honored to welcome you among them.
Ways to make a legacy gift
There are several paths to a legacy gift. Your financial or legal advisor can help you find the one that fits your situation best.
- Leave a bequest through your will or trust
- Name URI as a retirement plan beneficiary
- Designate URI as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy
- Set up a Charitable Remainder Trust
- Give real estate or other appreciated assets

The Legacy Circle
When you let us know about a planned gift, you become a member of URI’s Legacy Circle, a community of thoughtful, forward-looking supporters who believe that peacebuilding is a multigenerational project.
If you have already included URI in your plans, please let us know so we can thank you and welcome you into the Legacy Circle. If you are considering a legacy gift, we would be glad to speak with you.
Legacy Circle members are acknowledged in URI’s Annual Impact Report (with your permission) and receive updates on the programs their gifts will sustain. Membership carries no obligations, only our deep and lasting gratitude.
