Consider a Legacy Gift to ARIT
With as little as one sentence, you can make a gift in your will or trust that significantly impacts the high-quality programs and services of ARIT in Turkey. It is easy to name ARIT as a beneficiary in your retirement plan, life insurance, or will.
For many aspiring academics, an ARIT fellowship has contributed to the launch of a successful academic career. Donors who remember ARIT in their Will perpetuate their legacy and link it to future generations of scholars at the Institute. Bequests and other planned gifts ensure that ARIT will continue in its mission to support research and exchanges in Turkey. Unrestricted contributions enable ARIT to apply your gift wherever it is most needed. You may also direct your support toward specific funding goals such as fellowships, library development, or the ARIT endowment fund.
Just about everyone has the ability to create a legacy gift. There are many forms that are easy to set up, such as remembering a charity in a will or living trust; naming a charity as a beneficiary of a checking, savings or pension account; making life-income arrangements; and donating to the endowment. These forms of giving offer a powerful opportunity for you to create a philanthropic legacy. A meaningful way to shape the future, giving to ARIT is especially effective because you will help the Institute achieve long-term financial stability and sustainability. Above all, you will ensure that ARIT can continue supporting advanced research and exchanges in Turkey for generations to come.
