Remember Us In Your Will

EmailPrint
Remembering NARSAD in your Will is a fitting testimony of your belief in our mission and in what you cherish.

Bequests are the most popular type of planned gifts. Anything you leave to NARSAD will reduce the size of your taxable estate while helping to fund research to provide better treatments and eventually find cures for mental illnesses.



» Types of Testamentary Gifts
Testamentary gifts to NARSAD can take many forms:
  • Cash bequest
    -NARSAD receives a specified dollar amount.
  • Bequest of property
    -NARSAD receives specified assets, such as securities, an interest in real estate (such as a residence), part-nership interest, or tangible personal property (e.g., artwork, jewelry, or antiques).
  • Residuary bequest
    -NARSAD receives all or a percentage of the remainder of a donor's estate after specific legacies, debts, taxes, and estate expenses have been deducted.
  • Contingent bequest
    -Property is distributed to NARSAD only if the donor outlives his or her named beneficiaries.
  • Bequest to a life income plan
    -You can provide one or more loved ones with income for life, after which the assets pass to NARSAD.


The following items are special considerations when you plan a charitable bequest to help support our mission:
  • Unrestricted bequest. This is a gift to be used at the discretion of our governing board. A gift like this--without conditions attached--is frequently the most useful, as it allows NARSAD to determine the wises and most pressing need for the funds at the time of receipt.
  • Restricted bequest. This type of gift allows you to specify how the funds are to be used. Perhaps you would like to fund the Research Partners Program at NARSAD which supports Young, Distinguished or Independent Investigator grants. It's always best to consult NARSAD when you make your Will to be certain your intent can be carried out.
  • Honorary or memorial bequest. This is a gift given "in honor of" or "in memory of" someone. We are pleased to honor your request and have many ways to grant appropriate recognition.
  • Endowed bequest. This bequest allows you to restrict the principal of your gift, requiring us to hold the funds permanently and use only the investment income they generate. Creating an endowment in this manner means that your gift can continue giving indefinitely.
