Sample Language

Planning for the future and creating the legacy you wish to leave is one of the most effective ways to ensure a lasting impact. Making a gift in your will or living trust can guarantee that your legacy endures.

Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the remainder after all other provisions are specified. Below is suggested language to take to your attorney for use in drafting your bequest.

For an unrestricted gift that allows Make-A-Wish to determine how to use the funds based on the most pressing needs, use the following language for your will and/or trust:

"I give the sum of $___ (or ___%) to Make-A-Wish Foundation® of New Mexico, 7400 Tiburon St. NE, Suite A1, Albuquerque, NM 87109., Tax ID 85-0347088, to be used or disposed of as its Board of Directors deems appropriate in its sole discretion."
