Type of Bequests

Bequests through wills and estate plans
The most common form of legacy giving is bequests of designated sums of money, assets, or a percentage of an estate left to a nonprofit in a donor’s will. These gifts can be given for general purposes or to fund specific areas within the organization.  

Charitable remainder trusts
A charitable remainder trust allows a donor to donate assets to a trust, which then provides a trustee with an annual payment. At the end of the trust’s term, the remainder goes to the nonprofit beneficiary.  

Gifts of life insurance
A gift of life insurance is when a donor names an organization as the beneficiary of an insurance policy or transfers ownership of the policy to the charity. 

Charitable gift annuities
A charitable gift annuity is a contract where a donor makes a gift to a nonprofit in exchange for a fixed sum each year for life. After the donor passes, the remaining balance goes to the organization. 

Donor-advised funds
A donor-advised fund is a charitable investment account that a donor can create and use to support causes they care about past their lifetime and specify what the money they’ve donated funds.  

Endowments
Endowments are invested funds from which a nonprofit can use the interest accrued while preserving the principal sum. Donors can give to term endowments that are set up to be invested until the donors passes and then used to fund specific programs or provide general support. 

Beneficiaries
Similar to gifts of life insurance, donors can choose to make a nonprofit a beneficiary on other accounts, such as their retirement fund.
