Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of our organization. They believe it is important to support and encourage our mission.
Joe: Several years ago, Anna and I decided to become part of the organization's mission. We believe that they are truly helping others. We think that it is important to partner with them to make a difference. For that reason, Anna and I have made gifts over the years to help others.
Anna: We wanted to do more than to just make gifts. Joe and I have been careful over the years and have accumulated some resources. We plan to be generous with family, but we also have the ability to be generous with charity.
After talking it over, we decided to leave a bequest in our will. Our attorney took the simple language available from the organization and included a nice bequest. We are delighted that we will be helping others through them.

Sample Bequest Language
Some sample text in a will might read as follows (though you will have the final terminology):
"I give, devise, and bequeath [insert amount of gift, percentage of estate, or residuary of estate here] to the Friends of Iowa PBS Foundation, with office located at 6535 Corporate Drive, P.O. Box 6400, Johnston, IA 50131-6400."
The majority of bequests received by Friends of Iowa PBS Foundation are in the form of a bequest of a specific percentage of the total estate or the total residual (or a percentage of the residual) of the estate.
