After providing for loved ones, you may choose to make a gift to The Weidner through your will or trust, known as a charitable bequest.
Bequest
Donors include a provision in their will or living trust directing that a gift be paid to The Weidner after their death or the death of one of their survivors. Gifts may be a specific amount of money, an item of property or a percentage of the balance remaining in their estate after taxes, expenses, and specific bequests have been paid.
A charitable gift can dramatically reduce federal estate and inheritance taxes, while providing support for Weidner programs. Ask us for details about how to let your intentions be known.
