Legacy / Lifetime Gift

If you know that your relatives and your loved ones are already well provided for or if you do not have any direct heirs you might want to make use of the possibility to set up sustainable help for young people in Africa and to consider steps for children with a legacy in your testament or to appoint steps for children as heir.

A legacy is part of a testament. This way you can leave a specific sum or property to an organisation without the organisation becoming the heir.

In case heirs who are close to you do not exist you can use your whole inheritance in order to give young people a chance to a new beginning through steps for children.

We will be glad to give you advice on how to set up your testament for the benefit of steps for children, or consult your lawyer or tax consultant.

Should you wish to witness what becomes of your donation while still alive you can choose a special form of donation, the lifetime gift. You can donate money, bonds, stocks, commodities or property.

As a non-profit organisation steps for children is exempted from inheritance or capital transfer tax. Your legacy, inheritance or lifetime gift will benefit the cause you wish to support in full.

Gladly we will discuss with you, your lawyer or tax consultant the possibilities. Please contact us.
