About Bequest

You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help further our mission. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support our cause.

What are the benefits of making a bequest?

• You leave a lasting legacy to be remembered
• You lessen the burden of taxes on your family

How do I make a bequest?
A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends or MAFA as part of your estate plan.

Start Your Legacy
When you have completed your estate plan, naming MAFA in your will or trust, or as a beneficiary of your IRA, life insurance or other account, please let us know so that we can note those generous donors who will be making a difference in years to come through their planned gifts.

What are my options?
A bequest can be made in several ways:

• You can gift a specific dollar amount or asset
• You can gift a percentage of your estate
• You can gift from the balance or residue of your estate
• You can make a beneficiary designation of certain assets
