Bequests and Planned Giving

If you have fond memories of the Friends House and want to help ensure its financial health long into the future, we invite you to remember Beacon Hill Friends House in your will, trust, or estate plan.

One of the simplest planned gifts is a bequest through your will in which you designate either a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate after other disbursements. In addition to supporting the Friends House, it serves as an example to your heirs of the values and ideals you hold dear. To make a bequest, simply add the following language to your will – picking the appropriate version whether you choose to designate a dollar amount or a percentage of the remainder after other amounts are subtracted:

“I hereby give, devise and bequeath _____ dollars ($ _____) [or ____ percent (___%) of my residuary estate] to the Beacon Hill Friends House, Inc., a non-profit organization located at 6 Chestnut Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108, Federal Tax ID #04-2240610, for Beacon Hill Friends House’s general use and purpose.”

 

Employer Matching

Did you know that many employers match employees’ donations to charitable organizations like the Beacon Hill Friends House? Taking advantage of an employer match to your gift is an easy way to contribute even more to our work.

To start, ask your human resources department whether your employer has a matching gift program, and find out what information you’ll need to request a match – your employer may ask you to complete a form or ask for the Beacon Hill Friends House’s employer identification number (EIN), which is 04-2240610. Don’t hesitate to contact Nils Klinkenberg, Executive Director, if you need any help!
