Sample Language For Your Will Or Trust
a few simple words can create your important legacy
The Brady Campaign and the Brady Center are two separate but affiliated organizations. Because of the Brady Campaign’s grassroots lobbying and political work, gifts to the Campaign are not tax-deductible. Gifts to the Brady Center are fully tax-deductible based on the Center’s entirely non-political, educational, and outreach mission.
When you’re deciding how to leave a legacy for equality, the tax consequences of a particular gift may be a consideration. If the tax consequences of your gift are not a consideration for you, a gift to the Brady Campaign will give us the greatest flexibility in putting your gift to work to advocate for preventing gun violence. Either way, your gift will be invested in the shared mission of saving lives from the gun violence epidemic.
To leave your gift to the Brady Campaign (non-tax-deductible), use the following language:
“I give to Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (Federal Tax ID #23-7321017), a 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation currently located at 840 First Street NE #400, Washington, DC 20002, or its successor thereto, ______________* [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”
To leave your gift to the Brady Center (tax-deductible), use the following language:
“I give to Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence (Federal Tax ID #52-1285097), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation currently located at 840 First Street NE #400, Washington, DC 20002, or its successor thereto, ______________* [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”
*If you are interested in supporting a specific project or program, it is best to discuss your plans with our planned giving professionals before completing your bequest language to confirm your wishes can be met by Brady.
Please note: The policies of Brady do not allow Brady or its representatives to serve as personal representative, executor, trustee, or witness for a will or trust.
