Suggested Bequest Language

To help you create the gift for your future fund, please refer to the suggested language below. Each of these examples anticipates that you have or will establish a fund agreement with the Foundation to receive the gift from your estate or beneficiary designation. Without a fund agreement or other instructions, bequest and beneficiary designation gifts received by the Foundation will be added to the Community Endowment Fund. The Community Endowment Fund is used at the discretion of our Board of Directors to address the most pressing needs of the Clark and Floyd County communities.
