Bequests
A bequest is a provision in one’s last will and testament directing a transfer from your estate to a charitable organization. It is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to support the charities you care about for generations to come.
Sample language for a direct bequest: I give $_____________ (or X% of my estate) to the Gadsden Arts Center & Museum, a nonprofit corporation as described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, located at 13 North Madison Street, Quincy, FL 32351, to be used for its tax exempt purposes.
You can create a wonderful legacy next time you update your will.
