3 Easy Steps
How it works
Step 1: Choose your gift
Decide what fits your goals — a beneficiary designation, a bequest in your will, or a gift of stock. Any amount or percentage makes a difference.
Step 2: Make it official
For beneficiary designations, contact your plan administrator. For a will or trust, share our sample language (below) with your estate planning attorney.
Step 3: Let us know
Let us know your plans by telling us here — it lets us thank you properly and make sure your gift is used exactly as you intend. Your information stays confidential and your plans can always change.
