Bequests

Once your family and loved ones have been provided for, a charitable bequest in your will is a thoughtful way to leave your legacy. Bequests can take several forms:

• A stated dollar amount
• A percentage
• A specific asset

We encourage you to always seek legal counsel when you create or revise your will.

Suggested Wording for Charitable Bequests

The following section provides suggested wording for your attorney to use when you make a charitable bequest:

For The Miriam Hospital:
"I give to The Miriam Hospital Foundation, a Rhode Island non-profit corporation located in Providence, RI, the sum of $_____ (or otherwise describe the asset) to be used for its unrestricted charitable purposes (or otherwise describe the designation*).
