For your convenience we have provided sample language to share with your attorney to include NAMI Clackamas in your will.
​
Once you have determined that you would like to make a bequest to NAMI Clackamas, the following sample charitable bequest language may be used in your will or revocable living trust:
​
An Unrestricted Bequest:
​
“I give, bequeath and devise (the sum of $____), (describe real or personal property) or (____% of the residue of my estate) to be used for general purposes to the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Clackamas County (NAMI Clackamas), a qualified 501(c)(3) charitable organization, EIN: 93-0967313 and located at 10202 SE 32nd Ave Ste 501, Milwaukie, OR 97222, or its successor organization.”
​
A Restricted Bequest (to support a particular program or area of interest to you. Please inform us if you would like to restrict your bequest to ensure that we are able to honor your wishes.):
​
“I give, devise and bequeath to National Alliance on Mental Illness of Clackamas County (NAMI Clackamas) (federal tax ID number 93-0967313), located at 10202 SE 32nd Ave Ste 501, Milwaukie, OR 97222, the sum of $_____ or ____% or real or personal property herein described, to be used for the purpose of _____________.”

DONOR ADVISED FUND (DAF)

The donor-advised fund (DAF) is becoming an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier.

HOW IT WORKS:
​
You establish a fund at a sponsoring charity. This could be a community foundation, a public charity with a donor-advised fund program, or even one of the well-known investment companies that sponsor donor-advised funds. First, check with the fund sponsor about the minimum contribution to start a fund as it ranges from $5,000 to $25,000. Then, make an initial contribution to start your fund of cash or appreciated assets such as stocks or mutual funds. You’ll get an immediate income tax deduction and some sponsors will even let you name your fund.
​
Once established, you can suggest that your favorite public charities, such as NAMI Clackamas, receive grants from your fund. The grants can be relatively modest or larger for projects such as a capital campaign or a new building.
​
You do not get an additional tax deduction for these grants. You can also suggest which charities you want to have any remaining assets in your fund at your passing. NAMI Clackamas is grateful for gifts that come from donor-advised funds. If you are considering establishing a donor-advised fund we can suggest several fund sponsors for your review. You should also consult your professional advisor for their guidance.
