Your Legacy Lives On When You Change Lives

Gift plans can create opportunities for you, the donor, as well as for the Sigil Social Foundation. Recognizing that this is a sensitive topic that deserves care and consideration, there are many ways that you can plan your estate to continue your legacy, such as:

• Bequesting, which means you can provide now for a future gift to the Sigil Social Foundation by including a bequest provision in your will or revocable trust.
• You name the Sigil Social Foundation as the beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified plan. Any residual left in your plan passes to American Red Cross tax-free.
• You transfer ownership of a paid-up life insurance policy to the Sigil Social Foundation. Sigil elects to withdraw the policy now or to keep the policy and receive the death benefit later.

Planned giving is a powerful way to help survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking. Now is the time to begin planning for your legacy and how people will remember you.

How To Plan And Prepare Your Will, Trust, or Residuary

You can use the following information to enter into your will, trust, or other residuary to perform planned giving with Sigil. Rest assured, a document like a will can be changed at any time by you.

Specific Bequest: I give, devise and bequeath _______________ (insert dollar amount or item of property to be donated) to the Sigil Social Foundation, or its successor organization, a nonprofit corporation with national headquarters located at 41715 Enterprise Circle North #101, Temecula, CA 92590.

Residuary Bequest: I give, devise and bequeath _______________ (insert % amount) of all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate to the Sigil Social Foundation, or its successor organization, a nonprofit corporation with national headquarters located at 41715 Enterprise Circle North #101, Temecula, CA 92590.

Restricted Gift (Specific or Residuary) Bequest: I give, devise and bequeath _______________ (insert dollar amount, item of property or % of residue) to the American Heart Association, Inc., or its successor organization, a nonprofit corporation with national headquarters located at 41715 Enterprise Circle North #101, Temecula, CA 92590, to be used exclusively [insert restricted use language here – such as for research, for children’s programs, etc.].

Contingency Gift: Takes effect only if a primary intention can’t be met. If (name of beneficiary) does not survive me, or shall die during the administration of my estate, or as a result of a common disaster, then I give to the Sigil Social Foundation, or its successor organization, , a non-profit corporation with national headquarters located at 41715 Enterprise Circle North #101, Temecula, CA 92590 all of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, to be used for its benefit.

Safety Language: Language added whenever a gift is restricted. In the event the purposes of the restriction, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Sigil Social Foundation can no longer be served, the Board may devote any remaining assets exclusively for charitable purposes that: (a) are within the scope of the charitable purposes of charity (b) most nearly approximate the original purpose of the gift; and (c) benefits charity.
