Bequests
Including NHF in your will is simple. It is one of the most popular ways to leave a legacy and help NHF to continue to deliver compassionate care at the end of life.
You can specify a dollar amount, specific asset(s), or a percentage of your estate. You may similarly name NHF as the beneficiary of your living trust. You can even choose to name NHF the contingent beneficiary of a bequest intended for a surviving loved one, in the event that he or she does not survive you.
Meet Monika Mayr who has included NHF in her will.
A bequest may interest you, if you:
- Would like to make a gift to the hospice
- Want the flexibility to change your gift
- Want continued access to your gift assets, should you need them
- Acknowledge a current tax deduction for your gift is not important to you
How to include NHF in your will
-
When you create or revise your will or living trust, include our tax identification number and legal language such as:
"I give and bequeath to the National Hospice Foundation, a not-for-profit organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with business address of 1731 King Street, Alexandria, VA 22314, and with a tax identification number of 54-1586967, __________ [describe the asset – i.e. gift amount, percentage, etc.] for the National Hospice Foundation."*
- If you already have a will or living trust, have your attorney add the language in a codicil, or amendment.
Please contact our gift planning office or call (877) 470-6472 if you would like more information.
*These clauses are only examples. Contact your attorney for appropriate legal advice.
