Bequests are the most common type of planned gift. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to Special Olympics Indiana as part of your estate plan. Your estate receives a charitable deduction for the full amount given, so your heirs pay no estate tax on the gift.

Here are some options and sample language:

Give a percentage of your estate: “I give ____% of the net value of my estate as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes to Special Olympics Indiana.”

Give a percentage of the residue of your estate (the amount left after specific bequests have been given to individuals and organizations): “I give, devise, and bequeath______% of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate to Special Olympics Indiana, for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

Give a specific dollar amount or item of property: “I give Special Olympics Indiana $________.” or “I give Special Olympics Indiana ____shares of _________ stock.”
