Giving to The Arc through a Bequest

If you have thought of making a charitable gift to The Arc of Massachusetts but hesitate to do so because you want to be assured that your children and loved ones are well taken care of after your death, you may want to consider a bequest or gift through your will. A charitable bequest may be structured in many ways. You may choose to leave a specific dollar amount, a particular piece or property, a percentage of your estate, all or a portion of "what's left" after relatives and friends are taken care of, or a combination of the above.

If you have established a Special Needs Trust for a family member who is disabled, you may wish to name The Arc of Massachusetts as beneficiary of any assets that remain in the Trust after the death of that family member. This approach enables you to provide for your own family and also make a significant gift to The Arc of Massachusetts.
