HOW TO REMEMBER LION PROJECT FOR CANINE COMPANIONS FOR INDEPENDENCE IN YOUR WILL                       

               One advantage of giving by Will is the flexibility it offers.  Four of the most popular forms bequests can take are: 

               A percentage of the estate: 

               “I give and bequeath to the Lions Project for Canine Companions for Independence, located in Santa Rosa, California,                                       % of my estate.” 

               A fixed amount of money or a designated property: 

               “I give and bequeath to the Lions Project for Canine Companions for Independence, located in Santa Rosa, California, $                                    ” (or describe the real or personal property, including exact location). 

               A residual bequest: 

               “All the residue of my estate, including real and personal property, I give and bequeath to the Lions Project for Canine Companions for Independence, located in Santa Rosa, California.” 

               A double-purpose bequest: 

               You can provide a relative or friend with income for life through a special gift to the Lions Project for Canine Companions for Independence.  You can do this by establishing a charitable trust through your Will.  Upon your death, the trust pays income to the person you designate.  After that person’s death, whatever remains in the trust passes to the Lions Project for Canine Companions for Independence.  Call LPCCI’s Administrator, Elizabeth Bowman at (707) 577-1774 for further information. 

               If you wish to have your bequest applied to a specific the Lions Project for Canine Companions for Independence program, simply add “...for the benefit of (name of program)” to the language suggested above.
