Choosing to include a gift in your Will can be a deeply personal decision. A charitable bequest can be about reducing the final tax bill your estate will pay. Or, donating whatever is leftover after you’ve cared for loved ones to charity and not the government.
But it can also be about more than money. Including a gift in your Will to charities can be about your values, your life story and the legacy you want to leave in this world.
No matter your reason, we’ve created essential resources to guide you through this meaningful journey.
If you’re thinking about this way of giving and you’d like to learn more, our brochure showcases stories of compassion in action across the Red Cross movement. Help comes, because of devoted volunteers, staff and generous donors who come together. Because of people who cannot stand by – people who refuse to be powerless when crisis strikes.
