Planned Gifts

With your planned gift, you can help create a more just and peaceful world — for generations to come. We will honor your commitment by inviting you to join the I-House community of gift planning donors, the Florence and Harry Edmonds Legacy Circle.

There are many options for planning your gift, including leaving a gift to International House in your will or living trust, or designating International House as a beneficiary of your Individual Retirement Account (IRA), insurance policy, or donor-advised fund (DAF).

Our philanthropy team is happy to discuss these possibilities or connect you with our partners at the UC Berkeley Office of Gift Planning, who can assist with additional flexible strategies to help you pursue your charitable and financial goals while supporting International House.

Please note: We encourage you to seek the advice of an attorney and tax advisor when developing your estate plan, as International House cannot provide tax or legal advice.

Legal Name/Tax ID: Charitable gifts should be directed to International House, federal tax ID #94-1167403.
