For an unrestricted gift that allows World Food Program USA to determine how to use the funds based on the most pressing needs, use the following language for your will and/or trust:
"I give to World Food Program USA (Friends of the World Food Program, Inc.), a nonprofit corporation currently located at 1750 H Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20006, Tax ID 13-3843435, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose."
Please contact us if you would like to direct your gift to a particular region or program so that we can discuss your interests and provide additional language. We hope that your gift is not received for many years, and so ask that you understand that our needs, as well as the countries in which we work, may change over time. Your flexibility in the designation of your gift allows World Food Program USA to ensure that it can be put to work in the future, and so we recommend that your gift is not too restrictive. Contact us so that we can ensure your goals can be honored.
If you have named World Food Program USA in your will or trust, please let us know so we can ensure that your gift is used according to your wishes. Notifying us of your plans will enable us to plan for the use of your future gift. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous, we will keep your name and gift in strict confidence.
