How to make a bequestPlanned Giving is an investment in future generations. In addition to being an important source of funds for the March of Dimes, planned giving helps donors achieve their personal philanthropic, financial, and tax-forgiveness estate planning goals.
Contributors have many giving choices. Making a bequest is the most frequently used method of perpetuat-ing the work of the March of Dimes. There are three types of bequests: a specific bequest, a percentage bequest and a residuary bequest.
For a specific or a percentage bequest, the following language can be used:
“I give to the March of Dimes Foundation the sum of $ ___ (dollars) or __ % (percent) of my estate.”
The residuary bequest is made after all family and other bequests are complete, and the following language can be used:
“All the residue of my estate, includ-ing real and personal property, I give, devise and bequest to the March of Dimes Foundation.”
Before deciding on a planned gift, potential contributors should consult an attorney or financial planner. For more information, you can view the
March of Dimes Planned Giving Web site at www.marchofdimesgift.org or call us at 1-800-315-3698.
About endowmentsA gift to our endowment is a gift that goes on forever, allowing a donor to leave a permanent legacy to the community. The principal of such gifts is invested in perpetuity, with income expendable consistent with purposes that may be specified by the donor. The donor enjoys the assurance that the gift will always be well managed and well used, even as needs change over the years. Endowed funds strengthen the March of Dimes ability to keep pace even during uncertain economic times.
