LEAVING A BEQUEST IN YOUR WILL
Bequests are gifts that are made as part of a will or trust. Bequests can be made by any individual and set to the desired amount of your choice.
A bequest can be to a person, or it can be a charitable bequest to a non-profit organization, trust, or foundation such as New England Fmaily Support Service.
Whether you have $500 or a humble estate, you can make an impact by giving a gift to an organization that you care about. We would be honoured if you would consider New England Family Support Service.
Leaving a charitable bequest in a will also means that you’re making a positive impact on the world. You’re creating something wonderful for you to be remembered by, and you can have a smile on your face knowing that your gift will be used toward a good cause.
