Make an impact while planning for your future
Secure your legacy with a revocable living trust
While everyone needs a plan for the future, a revocable living trust offers more flexibility and control than a traditional will. A living trust allows you to manage your assets during your lifetime and ensure they are distributed according to your wishes after you’re gone.
By choosing a revocable living trust, you can seamlessly include the TOVP Foundation in your legacy, allowing you to support the causes you love with greater certainty and impact. This approach not only helps avoid probate but also provides a clear, secure path for your estate, ensuring your values live on for years to come.

Planned giving helps fuel the TOVP mission
A gift in your will creates the bedrock for the future. Our work today is important, but it is equally, if not more important, to ensure the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, Srila Prabhupada’s most important project, can continue well into the future. Planned giving gifts, such as bequests and gifts in wills and trusts, are critical to our ability to maintain the TOVP for generations to come.
Sources (of funds) means we get contributions from all over the world. All of our branches will gladly contribute. Practically this institution is the real U.N. We have the co-operation from all nations, all religions, all communities, etc. It will be an international institute. To see the planetarium and how things are universally situated has nothing to do with sectarian ideas. It is a scientific presentation of spiritual life.
