Who We Are
Everyone leaves a legacy. The question is: what heritage do we want to live on in the next generations?
In western Guatemala, communities don't need someone to tell them what to do — they need an ally who believes in them.
We walk alongside them so that sustainable development is not imposed, but born from the communities themselves.

Leave a Legacy That Lasts
Your will can be a bridge between your life's work and a better future for families in Guatemala.
Why Leave a Legacy?
By including Living Heritage Foundation in your will, you ensure that your values live on. Your gift — no matter the size — will continue transforming communities for generations.
How It Works
You can name us as a beneficiary in your will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy. It's simple, tax-efficient, and doesn't affect your current assets.
Tax Benefits (USA)
As a 501(c)(3) equivalent partner, your estate may qualify for a charitable estate tax deduction. Consult your tax advisor — you could reduce estate taxes while supporting a cause you believe in.
Your Impact Lives On
A legacy gift can fund scholarships for 100+ students, install 500+ water filters, or build entire schools. Your name becomes part of every life changed.
