Bequests and planned gifts: Bequests and other testamentary gifts by generous alumni families and community supporters are a significant source of financial support for Kindering. You can make a specific gift to Kindering of cash, securities or other investment through your will, codicil, or trust instrument. You can also designate Kindering as the beneficiary of all or part of the remainder of your estate or trust after the payment of estate-related expenses, other bequests, or following the death of a spouse or other primary beneficiaries.
Another way to support our mission in your estate plan is to name Kindering as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance policy. Estate gifts are very meaningful and advance the long-term financial health of Kindering’s programs and services.
