A charitable bequest is one of the simplest and most flexible ways to support charity_name. It allows you to retain full control of your assets during your lifetime while creating a meaningful future gift.
Large or small, a bequest strengthens our long-term mission.
If you do not have a will or living trust, state law determines how your estate is distributed—typically to family members—and no provision will be made for charity.
Creating a will or trust ensures your wishes are honored. We encourage you to work with an experienced estate planning attorney.
Catherine Hanney, a widow, has been a supporter of charity_name for many years. Catherine is in good health now, but does not want to be a financial burden to her children should she require expensive health care in the future.
charity_name is one of two charities to which she has been most dedicated. She would like to make a lasting gift to each of them in memory of her husband. After discussing her options with her estate planning advisor, she decides to create a residuary bequest in her will for each of her two favorite charities. Each charity will receive 50% of the remainder of her estate after all other obligations, such as taxes and bequests to her children and grandchildren, have been taken care of.
