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, known as a bequest, 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.
Our federal tax ID number is: 94-1156617
If you have questions about your estate gift or have a specific use for your gift in mind, we encourage you to work directly with the Office of Planned Giving to ensure that your bequest language accurately reflects your charitable intent.
