Bequests (Include
Dragonfly Forest in
you Will)
You can provide for
Dragonfly Forest through
your estate. There are
many easy,
planned-giving options
from which you can
choose:
- Make a planned
gift by naming
Dragonfly Forest as
a beneficiary in
your Will or by
naming Dragonfly
Forest as owner and
beneficiary of your
life insurance
policy.
- Make a planned
gift to Dragonfly
Forest and receive
an income for life
through the
establishment of a
charitable trust
that names Dragonfly
Forest as a
beneficiary.
Your attorney can
advise you of the
various types of
charitable trusts
and the estate tax
benefits of each,
and assist you in
setting up a planned
gift that is
tailored to your
personal needs. You
also may want to
talk with your
attorney or
financial advisor
about the tax
benefits of naming
Dragonfly Forest as
a beneficiary of
your retirement
plans.
- One of the
easiest ways to make
a planned gift to
Dragonfly Forest is
by leaving a bequest
in your Will. There
are several ways you
can do this.
- Give a
specific amount
of money to
Dragonfly Forest
or give a
specified
percentage of
the residue of
your estate to
Dragonfly Forest
(the residue of
your estate is
that which is
left over after
all specific
gifts have been
made, whether
charitable or
non-charitable).
- Designate
your gift for a
specific
purpose, such as
the Endowment
Fund, or for
unrestricted
use.
- The
following simple
language can be
used to make
your gift:
"I, [NAME], of
[CITY, STATE, ZIP CODE]
give, devise, and
bequeath to Dragonfly
Forest, Inc. (Federal
Tax ID # 23-3094506), or
its successor, the sum

($_________) for its
unrestricted use and
purpose."

give, devise, and
bequeath ________
percent (________%) of
my residuary estate to
Dragonfly Forest, Inc.
(Federal Tax ID #
23-3094506), or its
successor, for its
unrestricted use and
purpose."
A bequest may be
included in the body of
a will or as an
amendment (codicil).
Gifts made through a
bequest typically

deduction. Please
