Planned Giving
Begin Your Legacy With Us
With gift planning, you can provide long-lasting support for Tewa Women United while enjoying financial benefits for yourself. Your gift will support TWU’s holistic work in environmental and reproductive justice throughout the Tewa homelands. Planned giving includes gifts of stock, distributions from your retirement account, and bequests made through your will or trust.
Tax-Smart Giving through your IRA or gifts of stock
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use the link below to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify Tewa Women United of your gift.

Bequests through will or trust
You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help sustain and further our work in the future. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support Tewa Women United.
To help get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, a free online tool that guides you through the process of creating a legally valid will or trust. We’ve partnered with Free Will to support you in this process. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
What are the benefits of making a bequest?
- You leave a lasting legacy to be remembered
- You lessen the burden of taxes on your family
- You may receive estate tax savings

Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? These are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate Tewa Women United as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
