  Bequests 

A bequest is a gift made through your will and a powerful statement of your support.  Bequests can be for a specific dollar amount or for a percentage of your estate.  You can also create a contingent bequest, which would be honored only if other beneficiaries predecease you.

Beneficiary Designations

When filling out the beneficiary designation form for your retirement plan, insurance policy, or savings account, simply name the United States Association for UNHCR (USA for UNHCR) as full or partial beneficiary and provide our tax identification number (52-1662800).
