Planned Giving Through AVIUSA and FWE
Dear Friend of Auroville,
To sustain the future of Auroville, "the City the
Earth Needs," Auroville International USA (AVI USA)
and the Foundation
for World Education (FWE) are joining together to establish
an estate planning program.
By entering into this work, we are creating a way for those
who believe in Auroville
to review information regarding Wills, Trusts and other
estate planning tools and to make plans in a private and
conscious atmosphere. We are also making a long-term commitment
to help form a stream of future support for Auroville, the
Mother’s City.
We believe that a gift of any size, given with sincerity
and openness, has great symbolic value in the cosmos —
as well as immense practical value in the material world.
This is the spirit in which AVI USA and FWE have established
The Auroville Planned Giving Program.
Together, AVI USA and FWE offer two complementary possibilities
for your estate planning wishes. Gifts can be directed to
Auroville through AVI USA for the general support of Auroville
or for designated projects. Gifts can also go to the FWE
Auroville Endowment Fund, which would grant interest income
to Auroville in perpetuity.
Won’t you join us in planning for Auroville’s
future as a living laboratory for world transformation?
AVI USA and FWE cannot act as your attorney and cannot
prepare a Will or Trust for you, the law doesn’t allow
that. However, we can provide you with straightforward information
— in clear language — about the many ways in
which small, medium or large estates can be organized to
pass to the next generation with minimum burden to your
heirs and with great positive impact for the world changing
experiment taking place in Auroville.
The information we have gathered will familiarize you
with the vocabulary and concepts of estate
planning so that you can ask the right questions of
your lawyer, accountant or financial advisor.
We have enclosed a fact
sheet on estate planning tools and a reply
card for you to request more information to review at
your leisure. We have also enclosed a booklet that illustrates
Auroville’s unique projects and aims. Please feel
free to contact us if you
have any questions.
Thank you for considering Auroville’s future,

must utilize the already existing material means and powers,
but in a new way, adapted to the new needs. One of the most
essential powers is the financial power."
