Ways to Leave Your Legacy 

A Gift in Your Will or Trust

The most common and simplest form of planned giving, a bequest is a gift made through your will or trust.

  • Maintain control of your assets during your lifetime—these gifts cost nothing now 
  • Choose your impact—there is no minimum contribution required 
  • Provide for your loved ones first by stating, “If my partner survives me, then I leave my entire estate to my partner. If my partner does not survive me, then I leave my estate as follows…” 
  • Stay flexible by using percentages: “I give to Together Women Rise 50% of my residuary estate to be used for general purposes” 
  • Change your plans at any time to adapt to your circumstances 
  • Remain anonymous if you prefer 
  • Honor someone special by making a gift in their memory
