A bequest can be a specified sum of money, a percentage of your estate, or a specific asset left in your will. It’s a simple process that can make a profound difference, helping us to continue our vital work in advocacy and support.
Every bequest, no matter the size, contributes significantly to empowering individuals with disabilities and championing their rights. It’s a lasting tribute to your values and a way to make a positive impact for future generations.
