Support Our Work

Ways to Give

Across more than 40 countries, Winrock International helps communities unlock clean energy, protect forests, fight exploitation, and build sustainable livelihoods. When you include Winrock in your will, trust, or beneficiary designation, you fuel that work with the kind of long-term support that turns progress into permanence. 

How You Benefit 

• Your Gift, Your Way: No minimums. No obligations. Structure your gift however works best for your life and your family. 
• Zero Out-of-Pocket Now: Your assets stay yours. A planned gift only takes effect when you’re ready, and you can revise it anytime. 
• Private or Public, You Decide: Take credit, stay anonymous, or dedicate your gift in someone’s name. It’s entirely up to you. 
• Decades of Impact: One decision today ripples forward through generations of cleaner energy, stronger livelihoods, and healthier landscapes. 

Name Winrock International as a Beneficiary 

You can support sustainable development for many years to come by naming Winrock International as a beneficiary of any of these types of accounts: 

• Retirement Accounts 
• Life Insurance Policies 
• Bank or Brokerage Accounts 
• Certificates of Deposit 
• Donor-Advised Funds 

It’s easy to do. 

Step 1: Obtain the appropriate forms from the company that manages your account. Forms are generally available on the company website or by calling the customer service number on your statement. 

Step 2: Write in Winrock International as a beneficiary and use our Tax Identification Number (EIN): 71-0603560, where the form asks for a Social Security Number. 

Step 3: Submit the form to your administrator and let us know about your gift so we can express our thanks and ensure your wishes are fulfilled. 

Name Winrock International in Your Will 

A bequest to Winrock International is entirely free to arrange and fully revocable. Direct a fixed sum, a percentage, or specific property to our mission through your will or living trust. Prefer an extra layer of security for your family? List Winrock as a contingent beneficiary (we receive your gift only after your primary beneficiaries have been provided for). 

“I give to Winrock International, whose office address is XXX (Tax ID#: 71-0603560), _____% of the rest of my estate (or $______) in support of its mission.”  

Step 1: Share the sample language above with your lawyer or adviser. 

Step 2: Let us know about your gift so we can express our thanks and ensure your wishes are fulfilled. 

Donate Directly from your IRA 

Here’s something many donors don’t realize: if you’re 70½ or older, you can give to Winrock International directly from your IRA, and the money never shows up as taxable income. That tax advantage applies even if you take the standard deduction. 

If you’re 73 or older, a QCD can also satisfy part or all of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), the annual withdrawal the IRS mandates from tax-deferred retirement accounts. Instead of taking that distribution as taxable income, you can redirect it to Winrock International, fulfilling your obligation while funding work that strengthens communities and protects natural resources worldwide. 

Simply instruct your IRA plan administrator to process a direct charitable transfer using Winrock’s name, address, and EIN.

Give Through a Donor-Advised Fund 

If you have a donor-advised fund, you already have a simple way to invest in stronger communities and a healthier planet. A DAF lets you set aside charitable dollars, and claim the tax benefit, now, then recommend grants to Winrock International whenever the time is right. Whether you prefer a single gift or ongoing support, your DAF sponsor can process a grant recommendation to Winrock International (EIN: 71-0603560) in just a few steps. 

We’d love to hear from you when a DAF gift is on its way. It helps us identify and acknowledge your generosity quickly, since these grants often arrive without donor information. Please reach out to Maria Wassum at development@winrock.org to let us know or to learn more.
