Gifts through Your Will

You can't take it with you, but when you create a legacy gift, you can ensure that your desire to make a difference continues beyond your lifetime.

The will is one of the most popular ways to give and can be funded with virtually any asset: cash, stock, property, real estate or a gift of the residue and remainder of your estate after other bequests have been fulfilled. The process can be as simple as adding new language to your will (see below), and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you're providing for the future of health care service in our area with no impact on your present circumstances. You can specify the preferred use of your gift and direct it to a program, service, institution or group of people in need. Your gift then becomes a part of the Miller-Dwan Foundation at the time your will is probated, and your estate will qualify for a federal estate-tax charitable deduction.

Bequest language for Gifts to the Miller-Dwan Foundation

Many people have made charitable bequests or trust designations to the Miller-Dwan Foundation. We are extremely grateful for these generous gifts. If you have already made such a gift for the future, we would appreciate the opportunity to personally thank you and talk with you about the use of your legacy gift. The better we understand your philanthropic intent, the better we can fulfill your wishes. With your permission, we would also like to include you as a member of our Legacy of the Heart program. If you have already remembered us in your estate plans, please take a moment and let us know by clicking on the link below.
