Bequest Language
Planning for the future and creating the legacy you wish to leave is one of the most effective ways to ensure a lasting impact. Making a gift in your will or living trust, known as a bequest, can guarantee that your legacy endures. Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the remainder after all other provisions are specified.
Our federal tax ID number is: 54-6044662
Below is suggested language to use when drafting your bequest.
Sample Language
Unrestricted language:
“I [name] give, devise, and bequeath to National FFA Foundation, a not-for-profit organization currently located in Indianapolis, Indiana, or its successor thereto, the (sum of/ percentage of/residue of my estate) as an unrestricted gift to be used at the discretion of the Board of Trustees of the National FFA Foundation.”
“Yo [nombre] doy, ideo y lego a la Fundación Nacional de la FFA, una organización sin fines de lucro ubicada actualmente en Indianápolis, Indiana, o su sucesor, la (suma de/porcentaje de/resto de mi patrimonio) como un regalo sin restricciones para ser utilizado a discreción de la Junta de Fideicomisarios de la Fundación Nacional FFA.”
Restricted language:
“I give to National FFA Foundation, a nonprofit corporation currently located in Indianapolis, Indiana, or its successor thereto, the (sum of/ percentage of/residue of my estate). This gift shall be used for (state purpose) if and so long as National FFA Foundation determines that the need exists. If the Board of Trustees of the National FFA Foundation determines at the outset or at a later time that the need does not exist, or no longer exists or it is not possible (or prudent) to administer my gift as originally intended, then National FFA Foundation may, in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, direct the use of my bequest for a purpose related as closely as possible to that stated above.”
“Doy a la Fundación Nacional de la FFA, una corporación sin fines de lucro ubicada actualmente en Indianápolis, Indiana, o su sucesora, la (suma de/porcentaje de/resto de mi patrimonio). Este obsequio se utilizará para (indique el propósito) siempre y cuando la Fundación Nacional de la FFA determine que existe la necesidad. Si la Junta de Fideicomisarios de la Fundación Nacional de la FFA determina desde el principio o en un momento posterior que la necesidad no existe, ya no existe o que no es posible (o prudente) administrar mi donación como se pretendía originalmente, entonces la Fundación Nacional de la FFA puede, a su exclusivo e incontrolado criterio, dirigir el uso de mi legado para un propósito lo más cercano posible al mencionado anteriormente.”
If you have named the National FFA Foundation in your will or trust, please let us know so we can ensure that your gift is used according to your wishes. Notifying us of your plans will enable us to plan for the use of your future gift. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous, we will keep your name and gift in strict confidence.
