A new solidarity initiative promoted by DTI Foundation aims to raise awareness about charitable legacies as a way of continuing to help others after death. The project seeks to secure more resources for the training of professionals specialized in transplantation, especially in countries with fewer resources, where access to these treatments remains very limited. Through this initiative, the organization hopes to show society that a small decision made during one’s lifetime can have a major impact on the future of many people.

When someone passes away without a will, the law determines how their assets are distributed. However, when a person chooses to make a will, they can also decide that part of their estate, even a small portion, continues helping others after their death. This action is known as a charitable legacy. An inheritance includes all assets, rights, and obligations transferred after death, while a legacy is a specific decision made by the testator regarding who will receive a particular part of their assets.

In the case of non-profit organizations, the legacy is formalized by including them in the will as beneficiaries, specifying their legal name and tax identification number. From that point onward, the resources are managed according to the wishes of the person making the will. If a specific purpose for the money or assets has been indicated, the organization is required to respect it; otherwise, the resources are allocated to the organization’s general projects.

Ultimately, charitable legacies have become a meaningful way to leave a lasting impact and continue helping others even after death. Projects such as the one promoted by DTI Foundation show how a small gesture can help train professionals, improve healthcare systems, and provide new opportunities for people around the world.
