A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to family, friends or Sahaba WAQF as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest using a beneficiary designation form.

1. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your IRA to us.
2. Your IRA funds will be directly transferred to our organization to help continue our important work.
3. Please note that IRA charitable rollover gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction.
4. Contact us to inform us of your donation as we would like to thank you for your support.

To leave your retirement assets to Sahaba WAQF, you will need to complete a beneficiary designation form provided by your retirement plan custodian. If you designate Sahaba WAQF as beneficiary, we will benefit from the full value of your gift because your retirement assets will not be taxed at your death. Your estate will benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift.
