Bequests and memorials are excellent ways to leave a lasting legacy.
Bequests Through a Will or Living Trust -
A gift through a will or living trust (bequest) is a popular way
to provide significant long-term support. We accept bequests
of any size or type. Some assets, such as retirement funds,
may be especially advantageous to leave to charity. You may
give a particular dollar amount, a specific property, or a
percentage of your estate. You may also make a gift of the
"residue" or "what's left" of your estate, after providing
for your loved ones.
If you already have a will or living
trust, you don't have to re-write it if you would like to
include Literacy Council of Kitsap; you may add a document
or "codicil" to your existing documents. If you wish, you
may designate your gift to a particular area or program
within the organization. We recommend that you discuss such
a designation with us to be certain that we can carry out
your intent.
Life Insurance - Can help you make a larger
gift than you might have thought possible, while also
increasing your total benefit to your loved ones and
generating substantial tax advantages. You may name Literacy
Council of Kitsap as a beneficiary and/or make a gift of the
ownership interest in an existing policy. You may also
create a new life insurance policy specifically to benefit
Literacy Council of Kitsap.
