Charitable Bequest

You designate AMIT as the beneficiary of your asset by will, trust or beneficiary designation form.

A charitable bequest is one of the easiest and most flexible ways that you can leave a gift to AMIT Children that will make a lasting impact.

Benefits of a bequest

  • Receive an estate tax charitable deduction
  • Reduce the burden of taxes on your family
  • Leave a lasting legacy to charity

How a bequest works

  1. A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make.
  2. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to family, friends or AMIT Children as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest using a beneficiary designation form.

Here are some of the ways to leave a bequest to AMIT Children

  • Include a bequest to AMIT Children in your will or revocable trust
  • Designate AMIT Children as a full, partial or contingent beneficiary of your retirement account (IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or pension)
  • Name AMIT Children as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy
  • A bequest may be made in several ways
  • Percentage bequest – make a gift of a percentage of your estate
  • Specific bequest – make a gift of a specific dollar amount or a specific asset
  • Residual bequest – make a gift from the balance or residue of your estate
