Charitable Bequest

Gifts by will are an important source of individual support for Penn Medicine. These gifts have benefited all facets of Penn Med, and can be made in the form of a specific gift of cash or property, or a percentage of the remainder of an estate. The latter allows more flexibility in planning. The following language can help when planning a gift in your will.

Making a Gift that is Unrestricted

(a gift that can be used where need or opportunity is greatest)

I give to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the sum of $_______ [or ______% of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate] to be used for its general purpose. 

A Gift for a Specific Purpose 

A charitable bequest can also be designated for a specific purpose. It is best to have both the designation and the language approved by the University to avoid potential difficulties in the execution of the will, and to ensure the University meets your gift intention. 

I give to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the sum of $_______ [or ______% of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate] to be used for [state purpose].
