Gift Through a Will, Trust or Beneficiary Designation

A bequest is one of the easiest ways to make a lasting impact on our work while building your own legacy. Specify a revocable gift of a designated amount or percentage, or name A Place To Be as a contingent beneficiary. Naming A Place To Be as a beneficiary of a retirement asset, such as an IRA or 401(k), is a terrific way to make a tax-wise gift. Life insurance policies can also be gifted.
