Bequests

A bequest is a gift of money or property promised to an organization in your will and provides a straight forward option for leaving a donation to the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group. Advantages of a bequest include:

  • Ability to control your assets during your lifetime and allows you to make a gift without impacting your current financial situation
  • Qualification of an estate tax charitable deduction
  • Expand the impact of your philanthropy for years to come
  • Ensure a lasting legacy and continued support for a cause that’s near and dear to you.

An example of language used in a bequest:

“I give (or bequeath) to the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group, located in Belfair, Washington, a non-stock charitable corporation, tax ID number 91-1518294, for general charitable purposes, the following assets: ________________.”

In many cases, it makes sense to name the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group as a percentage beneficiary of your estate; that way your estate plan can reflect your overall intent and goals regardless of valuation fluctuations.
