Leave a Charitable Gift in Your Will or Living Trust
Make a Charitable Bequest and Leave a Lasting legacy
A charitable bequest allows you to provide for a cause you believe in through your estate plan. By including Mother and Child Charity (MACC) in your will or living trust, you can direct a gift toward the organization’s work supporting children, individuals, and families experiencing hardship.
You do not need to transfer assets today to establish a future charitable gift. Depending on the arrangement you choose, you can continue using and managing your assets during your lifetime.
Three ways to leave a bequest to MACC
A specific bequest
Designate a particular dollar amount or asset for Mother and Child Charity (MACC).
A percentage bequest
Leave an agreed percentage of your estate to the charity.
A Residuary bequest
Direct some or all of the assets remaining after other bequests, expenses, and obligations have been addressed.
The right approach depends on your family responsibilities, financial circumstances, and estate-planning objectives.
