Sample Bequest Language

To establish a gift to benefit your favorite ministries in perpetuity:

I give, devise and bequeath to the Christian Church Foundation, Inc. whose principal office is located in Indianapolis, Indiana,

the sum of ____dollars,

or the following stocks, bonds or other property: _______________,

or _______ percent of my residuary estate

It is my desire that such funds be administered by the Christian Church Foundation according to the Permanent Fund Gift Agreement on file at the Foundation as of the date of my death.

You should know that the above language is designed to be “precatory language” which is an expression of your desire rather than a mandatory direction. This language will allow you to change your direction to the Foundation as often as necessary without updating your will. It further allows the Foundation board to “stand in your shoes” to protect your charitable interests when — after your death or incapacity — one of your chosen ministries closes, reorganizes, or faces bankruptcy.

To make a gift of all that remains after you have taken care of your family and other interests:

All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, both real and personal property, whatsoever and whosesoever located, I give, devise and bequeath to the Christian Church Foundation, Inc., whose principal office is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is my desire that such funds will be administered by the Christian Church Foundation according to the Permanent Fund Gift Agreement on file at the Foundation as of the date of my death.

The Christian Church Foundation does not render legal, tax or other professional advisory services. Advice from an attorney and other professional advisors should be sought when considering charitable giving.
