A Gift in Your Will or Living Trust
Make sure to include your chapter name in the url.
One of the easiest and most popular ways to make an impact at {{ChapterLong}} is to include a charitable bequest in your will or living trust. A bequest allows you to leave a legacy of support for sick children and their families without affecting your cash flow today.
With a bequest, you can give a percentage of your estate, so that your gift will remain proportionate to the size of your estate, or you can give a certain amount of cash, securities or property. Either way, your gift allows you to retain full control of your assets now, while ensuring that {{ChapterShort}} will continue to give strength and support to families far into the future.
How it works
Why Should You Choose a Bequest?
A bequest in your will or living trust is:
- Easy. A few sentences in your will or living trust complete the gift.
- Revocable. Until your will or trust goes into effect, you are free to alter your plans.
- Versatile. You can give a specific item, an amount of money, a gift contingent upon certain events or, most common, a percentage of your estate.
