Crafting Your Legacy
Bequests
Preparing your estate plan can be a difficult process and is typically a time of deep reflection as you seek to craft both your personal and financial legacy. Foxdale provides the attached documents to assist with the process. Donors considering crafting a legacy that includes Foxdale might consider the following ways to give:
1. state a specific amount in your will, e.g., $10,000
2. leave a percentage of your estate, e.g., 25% or
3. leave the residuum of your estate to Foxdale.
Donors who choose to support a specific fund are encouraged to include the name of the fund in their will. Sample bequest language: I (NAME) bequeath $10,000 to Foxdale Village to be directed to The Community Fund.
For more information, and to begin planning your estate plan feel free to use our "Crafting Your Legacy" Handout.
