There's nothing more powerful than leaving a lasting gift of hope. A planned gift, left through a bequest, retirement plan, life insurance policy or other means, can help you balance your financial goals and charitable interests – all while ensuring your legacy lives on through wishes. There are many ways to make wishes come true well beyond your lifetime!  

Adding a bequest to your will or living trust can be as simple as adding a single sentence. Here's our preferred bequest language; take this to your attorney to use as a starting point. Contact us if you have any questions!
