How to Make a Gift by Will
Bequests
and other types of planned giving contributions are worthwhile
and gratifying ways to support Volunteers of America. These
gifts offer a variety of flexible and secure opportunities to be
charitable, and typically reduce estate taxes. Each gift- no
matter the amount-supports the vital work we do with the most
vulnerable populations.
Before making a provision in your will for Volunteers of
America, you should review your wishes with your attorney and
financial advisor. The form of your bequest can be as simple as
any of the examples listed below.
I give to Volunteers of America of Colorado, a
non-profit organization
whose present address is 2660 Larimer Street,
Denver, CO 80205,
and its successors forever, the sum or $________
(or a description
of property devised ) (or apercentage of the
estate), to be used in
such manner as its Board of Directors determines.
A residuary bequest leaves an institution the remainder of an
estate (if any exists by accident or design) after all specific
legacies have been distributed. It can be incorporated into the
above bequest form as follows:
. . . and its successors forever, all (or a specific
percentage of)
the residue and remainder of my estate, to be used in
suchmanner . . .
While unrestricted gifts are preferred to fulfill the general
needs of Volunteers of America, you may want to designate your
gift for a special purpose, restricting use of the principal,
income or both:
I give and bequeath to Volunteers of America of Colorado, a
non-profit organization whose present address is 2660 Larimer
Street, Denver, CO 80205, and its successors forever, the sum or
$________ (or a description of property devised ) (or a
percentage of the estate), to be used for the following:
__________________.
Volunteers of America requests that you include the following
provision with a restricted will:
If the Board of Directors of Volunteers of America
determine at any
time that such purpose is obsolete, inappropriate, or
impracticable,
the Board of Directors may use the income or principal
of this
bequest for wherever purpose they deem advisable. |
