If you remember The Arc Baltimore in your will, you will continue to support The Arc mission for years to come. Bequests to The Arc are designated to our endowment which is overseen by the Board of Directors. Since 2012, the Board annually approves a portion of the endowment earnings to be spent on programs that directly improve the lives of the individuals supported by The Arc - activities at the centers, new furniture in the residential homes, emergency assistance to families through the Family Fund, and so much more. This funding grows each year as the endowment grows. Your gift can keep earning within the endowment and allow you to keep giving to the people who matter.
Support The Arc Baltimore and meet your financial goals. Include The Arc Baltimore in your will or name The Arc as a beneficiary of an IRA or insurance policy. There are many financial tools so consult with your attorney or financial planner about trusts, annuities, and other tax savings strategies.
Making a bequest is easy and becoming a part of The Arc’s Legacy Society helps ensure the organization will provide needed programs and services for years to come.
While your attorney can assist you, the language that could be incorporated into your may be as simple as the following example:
“I bequeath to The Arc Baltimore the sum of _______dollars ($) (or a specific insurance policy, trust, stock or real property) to be used for its purposes.”
If you wish to simply add to an existing will, a codicil could be phrased like this:
“I add to my existing will dated_____ the following provisions: I bequeath to The Arc of Baltimore, the sum of ______ dollars ($) (or a specific insurance policy, trust, stock or real property) to be used for its purposes.”
Please note that you can also indicate a percentage of your estate or a residual bequest.
