Legacy Giving
Creating a lasting legacy through planned giving ensures that people worldwide will continue to have access to Hesperian’s important, lifesaving and transformative health information. Your support during your lifetime or after makes a difference to the lives of people who depend on our work.
There are many legacy or planned giving options, including some that return a stream of income to the donor and/or a loved one for life and allow you to enjoy tax benefits. Planned giving to Hesperian is deeply appreciated and will make a difference in the lives of people worldwide for years to come.

Remembering Leslie Grace
Leslie Grace was a passionate promoter of women’s empowerment with a love of handcrafted textile arts. Her appreciation for the unique health challenges of women artisans inspired her to generously support Hesperian’s work from 2009 until she passed in 2022. Her long-time generosity included hosting Hesperian staff in her Seattle home, co-hosting a house party and donating stock. We are grateful that Leslie made Hesperian a 10% beneficiary of her IRA — a significant legacy that will continue to provide tools for women to transform their lives.
