Have you made a planned gift?

If you have chosen to leave a legacy gift to AKFC, we would love to hear from you. Not only does this help us provide better service to you and your estate, but it also gives us the opportunity to thank you for your generosity.

By informing us of your legacy gift, the Foundation can better plan for the future. You have the option to remain anonymous while still receiving invitations to events and other communications.

In addition to expressing our gratitude, we would like to invite you to join the 1967 Society. This Society is reserved for donors who can confirm their intention of making a future gift. It is named in honour of a milestone year—1967—when His Highness the Aga Khan founded the Aga Khan Foundation in honour of his 10th year of accession to the Imamat of the Ismaili Muslims. Your legacy gift will help ensure that AKFC continues to positively impact many lives for years to come.
