Leave a Legacy of Relief
A line in your plans today. Relief still working long after.
Our devices are built to keep working years after they're deployed — no refills, no batteries, no second ask. A legacy gift is the same idea in giving form: one decision now that keeps deploying drug-free relief to people beyond the reach of pharmacies and clinics, far into the future.
Ways to Create a Legacy Gift
In Your Will or Trust
A bequest of a fixed amount, a percentage of your estate, or the residue after loved ones are provided for. Suggested language below — one sentence is all it takes.
Beneficiary Designations
Name Pain Relief International as a full or partial beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or bank/investment account. Often no lawyer needed — just a form from your provider.
Give From Your IRA Now
If you're 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA goes directly to charity, may count toward your required minimum distribution, and is excluded from your taxable income up to the annual IRS limit.
Charitable Trusts & Endowed Gifts
Charitable remainder arrangements and endowed giving plans are handled individually — start with a conversation and bring your advisor.
Unrestricted or Directed
Leave your gift unrestricted (it helps most), or direct it to a program such as the Global Pain Relief Initiative or the Rapid Response Relief Fund.
Assets Work Too
Legacy plans can include appreciated stock and other assets — see Stock & Complex Asset Giving for how those transfer.
Suggested Bequest Language
For You and Your Attorney
For an unrestricted bequest:
To direct your gift to a specific program, add: "…designated for [program name], or, if that program no longer exists, for general charitable purposes." That second clause keeps your gift usable no matter how far in the future it arrives.
Tell Us About Your Plans
If you've included us in your plans — or you're considering it — we'd be honored to know. Sharing your intention creates no binding obligation and can remain entirely confidential; it simply lets us thank you in your lifetime and plan for the future your gift makes possible. Contact us whenever you're ready.
Plan a Legacy of Relief
The people your gift will reach haven't felt it yet. That's the point — a legacy gift is relief you send ahead.
