The WPSR Legacy Circle

For 47 years, Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility has stood as the medical conscience of our region and successfully mobilized health professionals and other concerned citizens to confront the continuing dangers posed by climate change, nuclear weapons, and economic inequity. As a medical or health professional, or concerned citizen, you understand that true prevention requires a long-term commitment. The continuing threats we fight today will not disappear overnight. They demand an enduring, powerful voice for generations to come.

Members of the WPSR Legacy Circle, by making a place for WPSR in their estates, have assured that their commitment to a better future — so important to them now — continues in the years to come. These gifts ensure that WPSR will always have the resources we need to continue our advocacy and pursue our efforts towards a more just, healthy, sustainable, and peaceful world.

By stepping forward and becoming a member of the WPSR Legacy Circle, you provide the ultimate "preventative care" for our planet and our communities. If you have already included WPSR in your estate plans, please let us know by completing and returning the Statement of Intent so we can express our gratitude for your generosity, ensure it will be utilized in the way you intend, and include your name on our list of WPSR Legacy Circle members. Please reach out to wpsr@wpsr.org, or 206-547-2630. You’ll find more information below, including different ways to give, sample bequest language to provide to your estate planner, and information on using a codicil to easily amend an existing will, but if you would also like to have a confidential conversation about how this works, how this helps WPSR, or how to structure your gift, please email or call us, and we’ll get right back to you.

Thank you for your commitment to a more just, healthy, sustainable, and peaceful world. By sharing your estate intentions with us, you help WPSR plan confidently for the future.

  • There are numerous ways to become a WPSR Legacy Circle Member by making a lasting gift to support our mission in your estate plans:

    • A bequest in my Will or Living Trust

    • A beneficiary designation in a Retirement Account (IRA, 401k, 403b)

    • A beneficiary designation in a Life Insurance Policy

    • A Charitable Gift Annuity or Charitable Remainder Trust

  • In as little as one sentence, you can complete your gift. This type of donation to WPSR in your will or living trust helps ensure that we can continue to protect Washington from the gravest threats to health.

    I give, devise, bequeath, ______ (insert dollar amount or percentage of estate) to Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility, or its successor organization, a nonprofit corporation as described in section 170(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, with headquarters located at 2524 6th Ave S, #300, Seattle, WA 98144, Federal Tax ID # 91-1123316, for Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility’s general use and purpose.

    To make a planned gift, you should speak with your tax adviser or attorney as this is not professional tax or legal advice. With a gift in your will to WPSR, you are making a meaningful impact on the future of health in Washington, and your support will benefit generations to come.

    If you would like to discuss legacy planning to support WPSR, please be in touch with Max Savishinsky at max@wpsr.org or (206) 547-2630. WPSR can make available - at no cost to you or your advisors - the services of a knowledgeable planned giving consultant who can help you understand your options. It would also be our pleasure to introduce you to current Legacy Circle members to hear about what WPSR, and legacy giving, means to them.
