Other Ways to Give

By including Elevate Youth Services in your estate plan, you can help us carry our mission into the future for generations to come.

A bequest can be funded with cash, securities, or other assets, and you can arrange for Elevate Youth Services to receive a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a residual balance. You can make changes to your bequest at any time, and your assets remain in your control during your lifetime. Elevate Youth Services receives the gift only when your estate is distributed. Charitable bequests are deductible against the value of your estate and may reduce the amount of federal estate tax owed.

You can arrange your bequest simply, by including the following language in your will or living trust:

Sample Bequest Language:

I [name], of [city, state ZIP], bequeath the sum of $[ ] or [ ] percent of my estate to Elevate Youth Services, a nonprofit organization with a business address of 652 Granger Road, Suite 2, Barre, VT 05641 and a tax identification number 03-0262162 for its unrestricted use and purpose.
