Bequests
Bequest Language

Bequests are the most common way to leave CWA a legacy gift. It's affordable and won't affect your assets or cash flow during your lifetime. And it is fairly simple, especially since you should have a will in place already. They are quite flexible and allow you to leave a specific amount, asset, or a percentage of your estate. Or you can direct that CWA receives all or a portion of what is left over after you've provided for your children and heirs.

Your will or living trust can also incorporate other gift vehicles, such as a trust that provides for your children or an annuity to provide for a disabled family member. Speak to your advisor about such options, or contact our Planned Giving Officer for more information.
