  • A bequest, which is a gift included in your will or living trust. 
  • A gift of retirement assets, such as 401(k) plans or IRAs. 
  • A life income gift can be an important way to give you and/or a loved one income for life, provide unique tax benefits and benefit FSL, all at the same time!
  • Gifts of life insurance policies you may no longer need may help fund FSL programs. 

3 Steps to Donate to FSL Through Your Will

Step 2: Meet with your estate planning attorney 

  • Whether you need to create a will or simply update an older document, you’ll want to seek the help of an estate planning attorney. Specific bequest language to share with your attorney is provided below.
