Leave a legacy for the next 90 years
Why should I consider a planned gift?
When you include YWCA Princeton in your will, you express your belief in our mission of Eliminating Racism and Empowering Women through a very special and important form of financial support. Your gift will make a lasting impact and help us meet our goal to continue serving our community for the next 90 years!
Bequests, beneficiary designations and other types of planned gifts are vital to the YWCA Princeton’s growth and development. They are essential in enabling us to thrive and serve the community!
How do I make a planned gift?
The simplest and most common way to make a planned gift is to remember YWCA Princeton with a bequest in your will. This can be a gift of a specific sum of money or a fraction of your estate, and can be made either upon your death or upon the death of your spouse.
Planned gifts can also be made through beneficiary designations on your retirement accounts or life insurance policies.
Additionally, you can work with your advisors – attorney, accountant or investment consultant to explore some of the more sophisticated estate planning options and planned giving tools like Charitable Trusts.
No matter how you choose to make your planned gift, it may be made on an unrestricted basis or allocated to a particular program area.
Sample Bequest Language
Specific bequests:
“I give, devise, and bequest $ ______ to the YWCA Princeton, located in Princeton New Jersey with the EIN 21-0635056 for its general purposes.”
Percentage bequests:
“ I give, devise, and bequeath to YWCA Princeton, located in Princeton New Jersey with the EIN 21-0635056 an amount equal to ______ per cent (__%) of my adjusted gross estate as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes for its general purposes.”
Our development staff is available to speak with donors, attorneys, trust officers and others who require additional information or sample language for wills and trusts.
How will my gift be used?
Your planned gift gives you an opportunity to make a gift that advances our mission in a way that is meaningful to you. You can choose to designate your gift to one of our programs or to our endowment. If you do not designate your gift, it will be used according to our Gift Acceptance Policy.
Please let us know if you have included the YWCA Princeton in your estate plans so that we can properly acknowledge your planned gift.
