Planned Giving
Planned gifts are becoming an increasingly important part of Jeannette Rankin Foundation's funding. Many of our friends support JRF with a planned gift and at the same time provide a more secure future for their loved ones.
What If?
If Jeannette Rankin had not established a will, JRF would not exist today. Rankin bequeathed her Watkinsville, Georgia property to assist "mature, unemployed women workers." The $16,000 from Rankin’s estate was the seed money for Jeannette Rankin Foundation, which has been helping low-income women succeed through education since it was chartered in 1976. Rankin’s $16,000 gift has become a legacy – more than $1.5 million has been awarded in scholarships to over 600 women.
Follow Rankin’s example by remembering Jeannette Rankin Foundation in your planned giving.
