Many people choose to remember their favorite charities
in their estate plans. By naming BAPS Charities
as a beneficiary in your will, you can continue your generous
support indefinitely. Most importantly, it means you can
make a gift to a charity without parting with your
assets during your lifetime.
If
you wish, through a carefully worded bequest in your will,
your generosity can be directed to specific causes within
BAPS Charities, upon your passing.
When
you bequest a gift to BAPS Charities in your will,
you reap multiple rewards: not only do you help the needy
in a more long-term way, your gift creates a lasting
legacy for generations to honor you by, and also reduces
the taxes on your estate right now!
With
a gift bequeathed in your will, the rewards for helping
last long beyond your own life.
