One of the easiest ways to make a gift to Gilda’s Club
Madison is through a bequest in your will. If you wish, you can do this by giving a specific gift to
Gilda’s, or by giving a
specified percentage of the remainder of your estate after all
specific gifts have been made.
The following simple language can be used to make your
gift:
"I give and devise to Gilda’s Club Madison Wisconsin,
or its successor, the sum of _________ Dollars ($_________) to be
used for such charitable purposes as the governing body of Gilda’s
Club Madison Wisconsin deems appropriate; provided,
however, that at the time
of such gift, Gilda’s
Club Madison Wisconsin, or its successor,
must be a charity as described in Sections 170(c) and 2055(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code."
A bequest may be included in the body of a will or as an
amendment (codicil). Gifts made through a bequest typically provide
an estate tax deduction. Please consult your attorney and/or
financial advisor for specific information.
