Other Ways to Give

A Gift by Will


You can leave a bequest gift to FPWA in your will. Making a bequest gift is one of the most meaningful ways of expressing your values beyond your lifetime and securing equity and justice for future generations.


Bequest gifts can be for a specific dollar amount or for a percentage of your estate. They can be structured so the important people in your lives are taken care first. Also, you retain control of your assets and beneficiaries can be changed at any time during your lifetime, should your plans need to change.


Including a gift to FPWA in your will is easy. Simply provide your attorney, or include in your document, our official name and tax identification number and your specific intentions. Suggested language is below:


“I give to the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, Inc., a New York nonprofit corporation, or its successor, that is recognized as exempt from tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and whose Tax. i.d. number is 13-5562220, with its principal offices at 40 Broad Street, New York, NY, the sum of $_________ for its general purposes.”
