Give a Lasting Gift for Peace

Help ensure a more peaceful, more equitable, and more sustainable future by dedicating a legacy gift to the International Peace Institute.

Founded in 1970 by philanthropist Ruth Forbes Young and known originally as the International Peace Academy, the organization was first devoted to training negotiators, diplomats and military personnel in peacekeeping. Following the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, Ms. Forbes Young ‘realized that the world would be a really different place from now on’ and that “people must take responsibility for what to do about it.” She reached out to others active in the international community – in official roles and in the private sector – and together they identified the need for an independent group that directly involved citizens from around the world to help advance the cause of peace.

Individuals who choose to leave a planned gift to support the work of IPI will become members of the Ruth Forbes Young Society for Peace, receive updates about IPI’s activities, and be recognized in our annual report.

There are many ways to provide a legacy gift to IPI. Donors are encouraged to make bequests to IPI in their wills and to name IPI as the beneficiary under trusts, life insurance policies, commercial annuities, and retirement plans. There are additional ways to give to support the sustainability of the organization that are referenced in IPI’s gift acceptance policy. (Please note that IPI is unable to provide legal or tax advice.)
