A provision in your will or trust is a simple way to leave a gift that will have a lasting impact on patients and the hospital community. A bequest is flexible and can be changed by you at any time, if your circumstances change.
Sample Bequest Language for a Will
You may use the following language to include an unrestricted gift in your will or trust document:
"I give, devise, and bequeath $__________ (or ______% of the residue of my estate) to The Chester County Hospital Foundation, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, for general support of Chester County Hospital."
Your unrestricted gift will be used for the greatest need at the time it is received. Donations to The Chester County Hospital Foundation benefit programs and services at Chester County Hospital.
Please contact the Foundation for specific gift language to restrict a bequest to a particular use, program, or endowment fund. This language will ensure a gift is used for its intended purpose.
Donors are encouraged to confirm their gift details in writing with the Foundation.
