Make a lasting contribution

A bequest to Neighborcare Health is a wonderful way to ensure that your values continue to thrive, leaving a legacy of health and well-being for those who follow you.

  • Provide estate tax relief to your estate and may enable you to provide larger benefits to your loved ones since charitable gifts are not taxable.
  • Your bequest may be unrestricted or you may designate a specific program, such as an individual clinic.
  • Gifts may be made in your own name, you may memorialize a loved one with your contribution, or you can choose to remain anonymous.
  • You can bequeath a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate, or specific property.

The wording of a bequest will vary depending on the kind of gift:

Specific bequest

"I give to Neighborcare Health (EIN #91-0893287), a Washington state non-profit corporation, currently located at 1200 12th Ave. South, Suite 901, Seattle WA 98144, or its successor organization, [specify dollar amount/specific property] to be used [for its general purposes]."

Contingent bequest
