Bequeathing a Gift in your Will


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.

Sample Legacy Language

1. General Gift: "I give and bequeath the sum of $___________ (or _________% of my residuary estate) to BAPS Charities, to be used in support of its general charitable purposes."

2. Specific Gift: "I give and bequeath the sum of $___________ (or _________% of my residuary estate) to BAPS Charities, to be used in support of its charitable purposes in education."
