You can leave a bequest gift to FPWA in your will. Making a bequest gift is one of the most meaningful ways of expressing your values beyond your lifetime and securing equity and justice for future generations.
Bequest gifts can be for a specific dollar amount or for a percentage of your estate. They can be structured so the important people in your lives are taken care first. Also, you retain control of your assets and beneficiaries can be changed at any time during your lifetime, should your plans need to change.
Including a gift to FPWA in your will is easy. Simply provide your attorney, or include in your document, our official name and tax identification number and your specific intentions. Suggested language is below:
“I give to the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, Inc., a New York nonprofit corporation, or its successor, that is recognized as exempt from tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and whose Tax. i.d. number is 13-5562220, with its principal offices at 40 Broad Street, New York, NY, the sum of $_________ for its general purposes.”

FPWA has recently been receiving claims from members of the public emailing and calling our offices that individuals posing as FPWA agents have contacted them claiming that in order for the recipient to claim grant monies from FPWA they must first send the agent personal information, a cell phone number, gift card codes or money.
FPWA does not use social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), text messages or direct phone contact to solicit, review, or make awards. FPWA staff will not call or message you requesting money in order to be eligible for an award.
Further, FPWA does not make grants directly to individuals. FPWA works with its member agency partners and other reputable community-based organizations to direct support to families and individuals in our community.
If you or someone you know has been contacted by someone posing to be an “FPWA Agent” or staff person requesting money to release a grant, please do the following:
