Bequests from your Will 

Including the Grandfather Community Foundation in your will or trust is a meaningful way to help us continue to serve those in need in Avery County.

Ways You Can Give Through a Will or Trust: 

• Leave a specific dollar amount or asset to the Grandfather Community Foundation.
• Designate a percentage of your estate to be given through your will or living trust.
• Give only the remainder, or residue, of your estate, or that which remains after bequests to loved ones have been made.

Ways You Can Give Through Other Means: 

• An outright gift of cash
• Securities
• Personal property
• Real estate (real estate is accepted on a case-by-case basis with minimum valuation considerations and a written appraisal)

You may designate your bequest in two ways:

• For the general purposes of the Grandfather Community Foundation (an unrestricted bequest)
• To be used to support a particular program (a restricted bequest)
