Bequests

One of the easiest ways to make a gift to the Foundation is through your will. You can name the FMA Foundation as the direct beneficiary of specific assets or a percentage of your estate.

A will is the perfect way to recognize your family and show your loved ones that you honored them in a special way. A bequest to a charity offers immediate and lasting recognition to the individual donor and it helps the charity fulfill its mission in the future to benefit others. A common approach is to adopt charity as an additional child and designate an even percentage to favorite charities. A written will is the only way to guarantee that your last wishes will be followed after your death. Remember you can always change your will.
