A Gift in your Will
By including the Anglican Board of Mission (ABM) and Anglicans in Development (AID) in your Will, you can leave a lasting legacy that extends far beyond your immediate circle, enriches communities and strengthens churches for generations to come.
ABM and AID express hope and compassion; dedicated to advancing community development and the spiritual fabric of societies worldwide. By earmarking a portion of your estate to support their initiatives, you become a steward of positive change, leaving a legacy that transcends material wealth.
Please consider including ABM and AID in your estate planning:
1. Community Empowerment: ABM and AID projects prioritize community-driven solutions, empowering local populations to chart their own paths towards prosperity and resilience. Your support ensures that communities have the resources and guidance they need to thrive independently.
2. Sustainable Development: Sustainability lies at the heart of ABM and AID endeavours. By investing in projects that promote environmental stewardship, economic empowerment, and social justice, you contribute to building a more sustainable and equitable world for future generations.
3. Alleviating Suffering: From poverty and hunger to conflict and displacement, many communities around the globe face profound challenges. ABM and AID initiatives work tirelessly to alleviate suffering, providing essential aid, healthcare, education, and hope to those in need. Clearly, our world needs much more of this!
4. Church Strengthening: Churches serve as beacons of hope and sources of support for communities worldwide. By supporting church strengthening projects, you bolster the capacity of these institutions to address social issues, provide spiritual guidance, and foster inclusive communities grounded in love and compassion.
5. Honouring Your Values: Your will is a reflection of your values, beliefs, and priorities. By including provisions for ABM and AID, you ensure that your legacy aligns with your commitment to justice, compassion, service to others, and for instance the values embodied in the Five Marks of Mission – inspiring future generations to follow in your footsteps.
This ABM/AID Website, and all ABM publications, including especially the Project Book, give numerous examples of all this in action. ABM has been active since 1856 and invites your support to sustain the greater intergenerational future of service and compassion.

By including ABM and AID in your will, you forge a legacy of compassion, solidarity, and transformative impact, leaving the world a better place.
Together, we can leave a lasting imprint on the world, and imprint of love and generosity that reverberates through time and space, touching lives and inspiring hope.
