Will Bequests

Once your family and loved ones have been provided for, a charitable bequest in your will is a thoughtful way to leave your legacy.

Bequests can take several forms:

• A stated dollar amount
• A percentage
• A specific asset

We encourage you to always seek legal counsel when you revise your will.

Suggested Wording for Charitable Bequests

The following section provides suggested wording for your attorney to use when you make a charitable bequest:

For Newport Hospital:
"I give to the Newport Hospital Foundation, located in Newport, Rhode Island, the sum of $_____ (or otherwise describe the asset) to be used for its unrestricted charitable purposes (or otherwise describe the designation*).

* We recommend the donor or the attorney discuss specific program designations with an officer of the foundation for accuracy, charitable appropriateness and feasibility.
