What is a bequest?
Your choice to make a bequest is one of the easiest ways you can leave a legacy of generosity for your family. When you create your will, or if you already have one, we ask that you include Children’s HopeChest as a beneficiary. Your bequest to the organization can include personal property, real estate, securities, insurance policies, or retirement plan assets.
Why leave a gift in your will?
Not only will you be helping to transform lives through Children’s HopeChest, you will also receive an estate tax charitable deduction. Tax deductions can help your family by relieving the weight of estate taxes.
How do I leave a gift in my will?
The act of making a bequest is really quite simple. We recommend talking with your financial advisor or attorney, who can help you write Children’s HopeChest into your will using specific language that outlines what you would like to give. If you are considering making a bequest, please fill out the "Contact Us" form below.
