Donate

You can help bring the teachings of the Light and Sound to future generations with a bequest. There is a great flexibility in giving to ECKANKAR through your will or trust. You can give:

• a specific amount;
• a percentage of your estate; or
• all or part of what remains after your loved ones have been provided for (a bequest of the "residue" of your estate).

The best method to leave your estate to your family members in your will, should be determined by your personal situation and wishes. Discuss the contents of your will or trust with your beneficiaries. Family members of most ECKists understand how valuable ECKANKAR is to their loved ones and will give heartfelt support to carrying out your wishes.
