You can include our foundation in your will

When writing a will, we choose to gift those closest to our hearts – family, friends, and neighbors. However, it is also worth considering making even a symbolic bequest to the ADRA Poland Foundation. If you care deeply about the fate of those who are suffering and in need, and if you wish to help heal an unequal world – please consider including the ADRA Poland Foundation in your will.

How to write a will:

Take a moment to reflect on the assets you own

They can be real estate, savings, and other goods and rights. Make an estimate of your property, taking into account its possible debt.​

Think about whom you want to gift

Think about who you would like to pass your belongings on to. It could be your closest family, friends, a neighbor – or a charitable organization. We kindly ask you to consider including even a symbolic bequest to the ADRA Poland Foundation. Your gift would make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support!

Once you’ve decided what you’d like to include in your will, consider reaching out to a notary.

Make an appointment with a notary. A notarial will, unlike one written by hand, gives you the assurance that your wishes will be respected. However, if you decide to write it yourself, remember to do it entirely by hand and include the current date.

Let us know if you have included the ADRA Poland Foundation in your will.

This way, we’ll be able to thank you and let you know how your contribution will be used. It will also help us plan our future activities.

Why does writing a will matter so much?

There is a common belief that writing a will is something reserved mainly for older people, those in poor health, or approaching the end of life. For many of us, the very idea of putting our last wishes into writing feels uncomfortable — as if we’re somehow inviting something distant and unwelcome.

However, it’s important to realize that if the worst were to happen, your estate would automatically go to your statutory heirs. Writing a will ensures that your wishes about how your assets should be distributed will be fully respected.

If you happen to be a single person with no close family, you should be aware that, by law, your estate would go to the local municipality or the State Treasury.

That’s why, no matter your age or health, it’s worth taking the step of writing a will. It gives you full control over who inherits what, and in what form.

Perhaps, in addition to your loved ones, you’ll feel moved to support people in need by making a gift through a foundation?

And remember — your will can always be updated at any time.
