Bequests or Planned Gifts are a way for individuals to see that their ideals are enhanced and continue on beyond their passing.

When used to create an endowment, the bequest insures that important work can continue and affect generations into the future.

Bequests often allow people to make a larger gift through the liquidation of their estate.

Bequests are also exempt from inheritance and capital gains tax, providing another incentive to the person seeking to use their assets for the maximum benefit.
