Sample Bequest Statement

A bequest to the Community Foundation is simple to make part of your estate plans. You may instruct you legal counsel to include in your will the following statement:

This gift of an endowment fund shall be known as ___________________ (whatever name you choose). This fund shall be devoted to the support of the following charitable causes or nonprofit organizations_________________.

If you wish the Community Foundation will follow your instructions and make sure your fund is used exactly as you intend - forever.
