Bequests and Legacy Giving
What is a Bequest?
A bequest is a gift you leave to a person or an organization in your will or trust. It is an act of generosity to show important causes you are passionate about. You can leave bequests to as many people or organizations as you desire. Bequests are generally financial gifts, but can also be a mix of cash and/or property.
Benefits of including MOTIF BLUE in your Will or Trust
Including Motif Blue in your family’s will or trust is an important way to ensure the future of innovative and groundbreaking visual arts. Bequests create a long-lasting legacy of support, and there is no cost to you to make this type of contribution.
You will have the satisfaction of knowing that an arts organization that is important to you will continue to receive support from your estate, and you may be able to lower your capital gains and estate taxes through this method of giving.
How To Give through Bequests
Charitable Bequests: Add a provision to your will that clearly expresses your intention to donate a portion of the estate to Motif Blue. You may wish to leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of the estate, or the residuals of an estate after distributions are made to friends and loved ones.
Gifts of Stock, Investments, or Life Insurance: Many firms where you might have a savings, IRA, 401k, or life insurance plan, allow you to designate a beneficiary on your account. Contact your financial firm to discuss adding Motif Blue as a beneficiary.
Please work with your financial advisor on making these important updates to your will, trust, or account.
