A gift in your will or trust
It is easy to make a gift to FMA in your will or revocable living trust. A charitable bequest costs little or nothing to make now and you won’t have to give away assets you depend on.
Benefits of making a bequest gift in your will or revocable living trust:
- Easy to arrange
- Flexible and can change as your needs change
- Maintain control of your assets for as long as you need them
- Bring material aid and spiritual care to people in need as part of your legacy
How it works
You may designate a specific dollar amount, a specific asset, or a percentage of your estate to go to a charitable organization like FMA.
Simply add bequest language like this to your will or revocable living trust:
I give { _____ percent of my estate, or description of asset, or _________ dollars } to Franciscan Mission Associates, with address of 274 W. Lincoln Avenue, PO Box 598, Mt. Vernon, NY, 10551, and Tax ID: 13-1982783, to be used for the furtherance of its works of charity.
