Make Your Greatest Impact This Summer: Join the ZPG Society During Make-A-Will Month
Written by Malissa Cadwallader | Published: August 14, 2026
Every day, Population Connection supporters like you take action to create a more sustainable world. By advocating for universal access to family planning services, educating the next generation on the impact of rapid population growth, and championing human-rights based solutions, you’re fostering a healthier, safer, less-crowded world.
During Make-A-Will Month this August, we invite you to consider one more powerful way to make a lasting difference: including a gift to Population Connection in your legacy plans.
A Legacy That Reflects Your Values
A will reflects what matters most to you. With a will you can protect your loved ones, plan for your future, and support your favorite causes, like Population Connection, for years to come.
The challenges facing our global community—from climate change and biodiversity loss to resource scarcity and inequality—require long-term solutions and a sustained commitment to population stabilization. By including Population Connection in your plans, you’ll extend our efforts to bring people and the planet in balance.
Welcome to the ZPG Society
Our ZPG Society honors the generosity and foresight of supporters who have included Population Connection in their estate plans.
We proudly recognize all who have made planned gift commitments, whether through:
- A charitable bequest in your will or trust
- A beneficiary designation of your retirement account, life insurance policy, or donor-advised fund
- A charitable gift annuity
As a ZPG Society member, you’ll be recognized as part of a special community helping to secure the future of Population Connection’s work. More importantly, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that your vision and values will continue making an impact even after your lifetime.

Already Have a Will?
Make-A-Will Month is an excellent time to review your existing plan and ensure it reflects your current priorities.
Adding a bequest to Population Connection is as easy as including a sentence like the sample language below:
“After fulfilling all other provisions, I give, devise and bequeath ____% of the remainder of my estate [or $___ if a specific amount] to Population Connection (Tax ID #94-1703155), a charitable corporation currently located at 2120 L Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20037.”

If you’ve included—or plan to include—Population Connection in your estate plans, we’d love to know! Sharing your intentions is confidential and non-binding, and it allows us to recognize your generosity, ensure your gift will be used as you intend, and welcome you into the ZPG Society.
