Donate Through a Will

One of the easiest ways to make a gift to the UBCF is by leaving the Foundation a bequest in your Will. There are several ways you can do this. You can (1) give a specific amount of money to the Foundation; (2) give a specific item of property to the Foundation; or (3) give a specified percentage of the residue of your estate to the Foundation (the residue of your estate is that which is left over after all specific gifts have been made, whether charitable or non-charitable).

Since we cannot predict future medical advances, we recommend that your bequest be for unrestricted purposes or be directed generally to research.
A bequest may be included in the body of a will or as an amendment (codicil). Gifts made through a bequest typically provide an estate tax deduction.

The following simple language can be used to make your gift:
“I give and devise to United Breast Cancer Foundation or its successor, the sum of _________ Dollars ($_________) to be used for such charitable purposes as the governing body of United Breast Cancer Foundation deems appropriate; provided, however, that at the time of such gift, United Breast Cancer Foundation, or its successor, must be a charity as described in Sections 170(c) and 2055(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.”
