A Charitable Bequest is a gift arranged under your Will that becomes available to the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation, after your lifetime. A Charitable Bequest allows you to substantially impact the future of the health care of our community, without diminishing your assets today.
Here are two simple ways that you can put a charitable gift in your Will.
- You can name the residue of your Estate in whole or as a proportion using percentages. The residue is what remains after taxes, administrative expenses and your heirs have received their specific gifts or proportion. An advantage is that as your circumstances change, your Will does not have to be altered, as the proportion remains the same.
Sample wording: “I bequeath the residue of my Estate (or _______% of the residue of my Estate) to the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation.” - Another way is to name a specific amount.
Sample wording: “I give $_____________to support the work of the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation.”
