Leave a Legacy of Impact
For over 30 years, STLI has served communities along the Silk Road, equipping local leaders, training professionals, and meeting needs with excellence and compassion. Through community development, medical training, education, and language learning, we are seeing transformation take root in lives, families, and communities.
A legacy gift is a powerful way to invest. By including STLI in your estate plans, you are ensuring that this vital work continues beyond your lifetime, reaching future generations with hope and healing.
Why Consider a Legacy Gift?
Whether through your will, retirement assets, or a donor-advised fund, a planned gift helps advance this work in some underserved parts of the world. It is a lasting testimony to your desire to see lives changed.
Ways to Leave a Legacy
Bequests
Include STLI in your will or living trust by specifying a dollar amount, percentage of your estate, or a specific asset.
Life Insurance
Add STLI as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy.
Charitable Trusts
Support STLI while also benefiting your heirs.
Charitable Gift Annuities
Make a charitable annuity gift to STLI and receive a fixed portion of the distribution as tax-free income and as a charitable deduction. This charitable annuity gift can, in the future, become a legacy gift.
Retirement Plans
Designate STLI as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement account.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
Recommend a legacy gift through your DAF or name STLI as a successor beneficiary.
Endowments
Establish an endowment fund that supports STLI long-term.
Every gift—large or small—makes a lasting difference.
If you’ve already included STLI in your estate plans, we would be honored to know so we can thank you and steward your gift wisely.
