After providing for your loved ones, a provision in your will to leave a gift to Moravian Seminary will give you a great deal of satisfaction, knowing that your future gift will help Moravian students for generations to come. Gifts through wills are popular because they are both easy to arrange and can be changed at any time. Charitable bequests can include cash, securities, real estate, or other property, and may be identified specifically, as a percentage of your entire estate, or that part of your estate that remains after making specific bequests.
Your charitable bequest, in any form, is free from Federal estate tax and may significantly reduce taxes assessed against your estate. This means that Moravian Seminary will be able to use the full amount of the gift, where gifts to others may be substantially reduced by taxes imposed.
The choice is yours. You may allow the Seminary to determine where the money is most needed (unrestricted bequest), or you may designate the purpose (restricted bequest), choosing to support such ongoing needs as scholarships, faculty development, library collections, continuing education program, or building and maintaining facilities.
Making a new will, or changing your current will should be done with the assistance of your attorney. The Planned Giving Staff will be happy to provide assistance to you and your attorney.
By making a gift through your will, you will know that your generosity will touch countless generations of future students at Moravian Seminary.
