How to become a member of the Legacy Society

 
When making or updating your will, please consider a gift to TheDuPage Community Foundation.  Please consult your estate planning attorney who can assist you in adding one of the following paragraphs to your will:

"I hereby give and bequeath $_____ to The DuPageCommunity Foundation to be used (for its general purposes) (for[specific purpose])."

Or,

"I hereby give, devise and bequeath (the residue)(_____% of the residue) of my estate to The DuPage Community Foundation to be used (for its general purposes)(for [specific purpose])."

If you are leaving the proceeds of an insurance policy or IRA assets to The DuPage Community Foundation, be sure to indicate this on the insurance or IRA beneficiary forms and not in your will because the insurance proceeds or IRA assets will be disposed of by the terms of the insurance policy or IRA document and not by your will.

 

We also appreciate your annual support.
