5. Restricted Bequests
If you are considering a bequest but would like to ensure that your bequest will be used for a specific purpose, please let us know. We would be happy to work with you and your attorney to help you identify ways to give and meet your charitable objectives. We will also work with you and your attorney to craft language to accomplish your goals.
If you are making a restricted bequest, we recommend that your attorney include the following provision to give Renewed flexibility should it no longer be possible for Renewed to use your gift as your originally intended:
If, in the judgement of the Board of Directors of Renewed, it shall become impossible for Renewed to use this bequest to accomplish the specific purposes of this bequest, the Board of Directors may use the income and principal of this gift for such purpose of purposes as the Board determines is most closely related to the restricted purpose of my bequest.
