How
You Can Help...
Bequest Language for
Interested Donors
The following may be used in
materials your nonprofit agency
gives to potential donors. We
suggest that you also include
information on how they can
contact your organization
(contact person, telephone
number, address, email, etc.) if
they have any questions on the
full legal name of your
nonprofit when working with
their attorney.
If you are considering including
[ORGANIZATION] in your estate
plan, the following language may
be helpful:
"All the rest, residue and
remainder of my estate, I give
devise and bequeath to FULL
LEGAL NAME OF ORGANIZATION,
CITY, STATE, a non-profit
corporation existing under the
laws of the State of
Connecticut, for its general
charitable objectives and
purposes."
OR
"I give, devise and bequeath to
FULL LEGAL NAME OF ORGANIZATION,
CITY, STATE , a non-profit
corporation existing under the
laws of the State of
Connecticut, ____% of my
residuary estate to be used for
its general objectives and
purposes."
OR
"I give, devise and bequeath to
FULL LEGAL NAME OF ORGANIZATION,
CITY, STATE, a non-profit
corporation existing under the
laws of the State of
Connecticut, the sum of
$__________, to be used for its
general objectives and
purposes."
