Bequest in your Will

Bequest in your Will

The easiest and most direct way to make a charitable gift is by an outright bequest of cash in your will. Making an outright bequest requires only a short paragraph in your will that names the charitable beneficiary and states the amount of your gift. The outright bequest is especially appropriate when you want the funds to go directly to the charity with the least amount of effort possible.

Sample language: I hereby give, devise, and bequeath to CASA of Lancaster and Lebanon Counties, a Pennsylvania nonprofit with tax ID #26-1826650, [dollar amount] or [percentage of estate] or [real property] to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
