Making a bequest

Making a gift as a bequest to DESC through your will or revocable living trust is a simple and flexible way to reinvest in your community for years to come. 

By preparing your will or revocable trust now you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that you have invested in your community and the causes that are important to you. 

Giving this way is flexible. 

There are multiple ways you can make a gift as a bequest to suit your needs. Just a simple provision in your will or revocable trust provides support to our clients and invests in the future of our mission. 

Gifting through your will or trust allows you the flexibility of specifying a dollar amount or a particular asset, such as real estate or stock. It also allows you to donate either a percentage or remainder of your estate.  

For your convenience, we’ve provided some suggested language below that you could use. Please feel free to adapt this language with your attorney to fit your individual situation.  


If you are considering making an outright bequest to DESC, see the recommended language to use here! 

We are available and would love to talk with you if you have any questions!
