Wills & Living Trusts

You can make a gift (bequest) to a charitable organization through your will or living trust in the following ways

A percentage of your total estate
--In using this approach, your gift adjusts with changes in the size of your estate.

The residue or a percentage of the residue of your estate--After your specific gifts to loved ones have been made, you may designate that the entire residue or a percentage of the remainder shall go to one or more charitable organizations. With this approach as well, your gift adjusts with changes in the size of your estate.

A gift of a specific amount--You specify a dollar amount to be given to one or more charitable organizations. With this kind of gift, it is especially important to keep your will or trust up-to-date.

Sample bequest language for your attorney:
"I give [_____% of my estate] [the residue of my estate] [_____% of the residue of my estate] [$______________] to Northern California Public Broadcasting, Inc. (NCPB), a California nonprofit public benefit corporation. NCPB's primary office is located at 2601 Mariposa Street, San Francisco, CA 94110."

NCPB's Federal Tax I.D. Number
Your attorney may want NCPB's tax I.D. number. It is 94-1241309.

"KQED provides education, information and entertainment to people from all walks of life; it is crucial to a thriving democracy. That's why I've made an endowment gift in my living trust. I'm delighted that my gift will one day extend my support far beyond the annual gifts I make to KQED today."

"I watch KQED when I want unbiased information on what is going on in the world. I'm very pleased that KQED has aired many documentaries that deal with the histories and cultures of various minorities. My husband and I included KQED in our will because of our belief in publicly supported television and what KQED does for the community."
