The UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.
Children, women and men forced to flee their homes have made extraordinary efforts to survive. For as long as people are displaced, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, will continue to answer the call to support millions of refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people—today, tomorrow and for years to come. Including UNHCR in your Will (making a legacy gift) is a meaningful way to help shape the futures of displaced people and families. Recognizing the growing numbers of people forced to flee worldwide, your legacy gift can ensure your compassion continues beyond your own lifetime.
Having an up-to-date Will is important to ensure your loved ones are supported and your wishes become reality. Without a valid Will the laws in your region of residence will decide how your assets are distributed and who should care for minor children or pets. Creating a Will gives you the peace of mind of a well thought-out plan.
This important document can also be a powerful force for good. When creating a Will you can decide to support causes that are important to you.
By adding a gift to your Will, you're deciding today to make a positive impact tomorrow, leaving a better world for generations to come.
Are you considering creating or updating your Will? Let us help. There's no obligation to include a gift to UNHCR in your Will, but we hope you'll choose to do so.

What if I change my mind on decisions I made in my Will?
Not a problem! Your Will is yours to update and modify. Depending on how you create your Will through our partner Willfora, you can simply update your Will online or take your Will to a lawyer to modify.
