Ways to Give
There are many ways to design a charitable bequest in your will or trust agreement. These may include:
- A specific bequest, which provides to Tabby’s Place a specific dollar amount, percentage of your estate, or piece of property.
- A contingent bequest, which provides to Tabby’s Place all or a portion of your estate if circumstances make it impossible to carry out your primary provisions (as when your spouse or other heirs do not survive you).
- A residual bequest, which provides to Tabby’s Place all or a percentage of your estate after all other bequests, debts, taxes, and expenses have been distributed.
You can also make Tabby’s Place a beneficiary of all or a portion of an insurance policy or IRA.
