Gifts of Bequests

Make a Bequest to the Broward Health Foundation

Giving to the Broward Health Foundation through your will is one of the simplest ways to make a planned gift. Making a bequest is straightforward and easily executed with your attorney. In addition, a bequest to the Broward Health Foundation can save your estate a significant sum in tax payments if the estate is subject to federal estate tax.
You can name the Broward Health Foundation as a beneficiary in your will in a number of simple ways:

• If your gift is to be made in cash, you can designate a dollar amount for the Broward Health Foundation, or you can specify a percentage or fraction of your estate. The latter choice provides a hedge against inflation and unforeseen shrinkage while assuring that your heirs receive their proportionate share of the estate.
• You can name the Broward Health Foundation as the remainder beneficiary of your estate. The Broward Health Foundation would receive the residual amount only after specific sums have been paid to individual beneficiaries.
• You can make a contingent bequest by naming the Broward Health Foundation to receive certain assets only if a named individual, such as a spouse, doesn't survive you. This offers a way to put a loved one's security first.
• You can specify a non-cash gift of securities, real estate, or tangible personal property (such as art or antiques).

Gifts of unrestricted funds are the most helpful to the Broward Health Foundation, but you may designate your gift for a specific purpose if you wish.
