Bequest
Giving
Giving
support to Eastern Illinois Foodbank for hunger relief can
occur when the donor decides, after reflection and consultation,
to set aside specific funds, portions of an estate or a
particular asset property to go to hunger relief upon the
donor's death.
Bequest
Gifts are especially meaningful because they provide long-term
support that strengthens the Foodbank's ability to meet
future challenges in the fight against hunger and food insecurity
in eastern Illinois.
Bequests
are typically made and affirmed in one's Will, Trust or
Estate Plan. Such a document establishes the gift and gift
amount from estate assets. A Bequest Gift to the Foodbank
can be:
- Specific
- there is a particular item or among your identify;
- Residuary
- the contribution comes after all estate expenses have
been resolved; or
- Contingent
- the gift is honored only when beneficiaries cited
in the estate have failed to survive and their financial
needs are no longer a consideration.
The
Bequest Gift can be set up as a restricted investment in
the future of the Foodbank, in which case there is a specific
desire or direction for the funds. You direct the Foodbank
to apply the gift in a particularly meaningful way for a
special purpose you favor.
And,
of course, a Bequest Gift can be changed over the years
or modified to reflect different commitments.
We
would be pleased to work with you and your family, and estate
advisors, in making a Bequest Gift.
Fighting
Hunger Into the Future Circle
Eastern
Illinois Foodbank is extremely grateful for the benevolence
of people who choose to leave a Bequest Gift to fight hunger
in eastern Illinois as part of their estate plan. Accordingly,
we have created the Fighting Hunger Into the Future Circle
to honors those who include "fighting hunger"
in their wills, trusts and estate planning.
Such
Bequest Gifts are extraordinarily meaningful because they
provide long-term support that strengthens the Foodbank's
ability to meet future challenges - in procuring food and
in reaching even greater numbers of individuals and families
who are hungry.
We
can enroll you in the Fighting Hunger Into the Future
Circle through an email communication, or we can meet
with you. Knowing of your Bequest Gift really enables us
to plan for the future and acknowledge your legacy to continue
to provide food for the hungry - even after your death.
Can
there possibly be a greater legacy!
