Planned Giving

1. You can change your mind at any time. This type of gift does not go into effect until after your passing, so you have the opportunity to change or revoke your gift at any time while you are alive. Plus, since you’re not actually parting with assets today, you don’t need to worry that you won’t have enough to live on in the future should you need  your assets to cover your living expenses.

2. You can be flexible in your commitment. Most people do not know what the exact size of their estate will be. Therefore, making a gift to  us by using a percentage amount can be a more appropriate way to  divide your assets. It allows you to benefit myFace and loved ones in relative proportion.

Even a gift of 5-10 percent of your estate can make a big difference in the lives of the children and adults we help. When you give an unrestricted, legacy donation – that is, one that is not designated for a specific project or focus – your gift will have the flexibility to help patients and families in many different ways, rather  than having the monies designated for an initiative that may or may  not remain necessary in the future. Rest assured that your legacy will be applied with utmost consideration to make a lasting impact on the craniofacial community.

The following is suggested language intended to help you in drafting a bequest to reflect your own goals and intentions regarding myFace. Please remember to always consult with an attorney or tax advisor when considering a planned gift.

Be sure our organization’s correct legal name appears in all final documents as:
