More Information on Bequests and Other Planned Gifts

There are several ways to make contributions through your will. For further assistance, please do not hesitate to email Deborah Agre or call her at 510 548-0542.

You can give:

A Percentage

"I give, devise, and bequeath to the Middle East Children’s Alliance, Berkeley, California, _____ % of my estate to be used for its charitable purposes."

A Specific Dollar Amount

"Middle East Children’s Alliance, Berkeley, California, $_______ to be used for its charitable purposes."

A Residue

A residue is what assets remain after other bequests have been granted.
“All the residue of my estate, including real and personal property, I give, devise, and bequeath to the Middle East Children’s Alliance, Berkeley, California, to be used for its charitable purposes.”

Note: The above is suggested wording. Consult an attorney when preparing any legal document. If you work with a financial advisor, he or she can tell you about other kinds of planned giving that can benefit both you and the Middle East Children’s Alliance.
