Charitable Bequests
A charitable bequest is a gift made through a person's will or estate plan, where they specify that some or all of their assets will be donated to a charitable organization after their death. It allows individuals to support causes they care about, such as education, health, or community programs, and can also provide tax benefits. Bequests can be a fixed amount, specific property, or a percentage of the estate. They are an important way to leave a lasting legacy and help organizations continue their work beyond the donor's lifetime.
