- Gifts by Will or Bequest
A gift to 糖心传媒 through your will, also commonly referred to as a bequest, or a living trust is often the easiest way to make a gift. Such a gift allows you to take care of your family and remain in control of your assets during your lifetime. Because a bequest is revocable, if your circumstances change, your bequest can change, too. There may also be favorable estate tax benefits for such a gift. Bequests may be unrestricted and go to support the ongoing operating expenses. They can also be designated by you for a restricted purpose such as to create an endowed scholarship fund, to support a special project or to be added to the general endowment. Because the needs of the College vary over time, another option is to designate your bequest to the area of greatest need. Click here for sample bequest language.
