Giving Your Way

Make a gift that costs you nothing today and can be altered or revoked if your plans change.

Gift Option:

  • Charitable Bequest: A Gift in Your Will

    A bequest is simple and direct and can be changed should you want or need to do so.

Designate a specific asset, a specific sum of money, a percentage of your estate, or what remains of your estate after you've provided for all other heirs.

Make a gift that pays you an income now.

Gift Option:
