Why make a legacy gift? Create a lasting impact with Innovations for Poverty Action

Your philanthropic legacy can advance evidence-based solutions to global poverty.


If IPA's mission has influenced your worldview or sparked your passion, a legacy gift allows you to extend that impact across generations. These gifts require no immediate financial commitment and can be arranged simply, often in just minutes, yet create profound and lasting change. By including Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) in your estate plans, you ensure your dedication to rigorous, evidence-based approaches continues driving global change long into the future. Legacy giving offers a strategic and flexible pathway to invest in innovation and sustainable poverty reduction.

Legacy gifts represent some of the most accessible and impactful ways to support IPA well into the future and can offer significant estate planning advantages. Estate giving offers financial security today while enabling substantial philanthropic impact tomorrow. We encourage you to explore these opportunities with your family and professional advisors.*
