Legacy Giving

Leave a legacy and continue to change lives for years to come by including SEE International in your will. Legacy giving through planned giving or bequests allow SEE to continue restoring vision to patients in need in your name, making communities healthier and stronger.

In order to plan a gift, consider the following:

How would you like to give?

  • Bequests are gifts made through a will. 
  • Planned giving is a combination of bequests and other estate assets, such as real estate, stocks, and funds such as Charitable Remainder Trusts.
  • Family Foundations or Charitable Trusts can disburse funds through bequests, or can be done any time. 
  • Donor Advised Funds and IRA Charitable Distributions can be made any time, and are not planned gifts.

What would you like your gift to support?

Whether you have something specific in mind or not, reach out to our Development team at development@seeintl.org for information on gift restrictions to find a program or geographic region that best aligns with your legacy goals.  

What type of commitment are you looking to make?

Are you looking for a one-time gift or a long-term investment, such as an endowed program?  

Leaving an endowment to SEE in your name will allow your generosity to provide long-term, ongoing impacts in your name to the program of your choosing in perpetuity. Please reach out to the Development team at development@seeintl.org for more information on endowments.

Ready to plan your gift?

Once you are ready to plan your gift, contact your attorney or estate advisor with your gift restrictions, gift details, and SEE International’s information, listed below:

  • Surgical Eye Expeditions International, Inc. (dba SEE International)
  • EIN #31-1682275

Please notify the SEE team of your planned gift at development@seeintl.org so that we can best align your goals with our programs, and so that we can thank you for choosing to leave a legacy on vision care worldwide.
