August Is Make-A-Will Month. Consider the KF as you build your legacy.
Legacy-giving appeal from the Kosciuszko Foundation encouraging supporters to include the KF in their will during August Is Make-A-Will Month.
Event Description
Overview
The page is a legacy-giving appeal from the Kosciuszko Foundation encouraging supporters to consider including the organization in their estate plans during August Is Make-A-Will Month. The message focuses on planned giving and explains how a bequest or other testamentary gift can help sustain the Foundation’s mission for future generations.
Who is hosting
The host is The Kosciuszko Foundation (KF), a nonprofit dedicated to promoting closer ties between Poland and the United States through educational and cultural exchanges. The page is presented as part of the Foundation’s giving and development materials.
What the page is about
Rather than announcing a live event with a specific program, the page serves as a themed fundraising and awareness appeal. It asks readers to think about their legacy and to consider naming the KF in their will or other planned gift arrangements. The central idea is that gifts through a will can help preserve the Foundation’s work over the long term.
The page references the broader concept of Make-A-Will Month and connects it to the KF’s mission and future stability. It highlights the importance of legacy gifts as a way to support educational and cultural programming beyond an individual donor’s lifetime.
Why it matters
The KF frames planned giving as a meaningful way to support its mission:
- It helps ensure continued support for scholarships, grants, fellowships, and cultural programs.
- It allows donors to make a lasting impact aligned with their personal values.
- It strengthens the Foundation’s long-term ability to promote Polish culture and Polish-American ties.
Planned giving context
The page explains that a gift under a will can be an effective way to support the KF. It notes that donors may choose different forms of legacy gifts, including bequests of cash, property, or a percentage of an estate. The page’s emphasis is on legacy planning rather than a single scheduled gathering.
Donation and contact information
The page does not present ticketing information, admission details, or a public event registration link. It is a donation/legacy-planning page rather than a ticketed event announcement.
Photos and media
The page content available here does not clearly provide a featured event photo or a gallery specific to this appeal, so no image details are included.
Additional context
The Kosciuszko Foundation describes itself as a longstanding organization devoted to educational and cultural exchange between Poland and the United States.
