Bequest Language Ensures Your Wishes Fulfilled

 

Any gift to a charity should be seen as an investment, and you want to invest in a charity that will make a major impact on its recipients while also giving you personal satisfaction.

An excellent way for you to invest in United Way's mission is to leave us a bequest in your will, living trust or with a codicil. One significant benefit of making a gift by bequest is that it allows you to continue to use the property you will leave to charity during your life. Another benefit is that you are able to leave a lasting legacy. 

If you take the investment approach, the benefits of a bequest extend your impact.

  •     You leave a lasting legacy to be remembered
  •     You lessen the burden of taxes on your family
  •     You may receive estate tax savings

A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends or United Way as part of your estate plan.  Learn more about bequest language.
