Below is suggested language to use when drafting your bequest.
Sample Language
For an unrestricted gift that allows The Nature of Wildworks to determine how to use the funds based on the most pressing needs, use the following language for your will and/or trust:
​
"I give to The Nature of Wildworks, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization currently located at P.O. Box 1473, Coarsegold, CA 93614, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose."
​
To designate your provision for a particular purpose:
​
"I give to The Nature of Wildworks, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization currently located at P.O. Box 1473, Coarsegold, CA 93614, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property]. This gift should be used for _____________ [state purpose] if and so long as The Nature of Wildworks determines that the need exists. If The Nature of Wildworks shall determine at the outset or at a later time that the need does not exist, or no longer exists or for some reason it is not possible (or prudent) to administer my gift as originally intended, then The Nature of Wildworks may, in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, direct the use of my bequest for a purpose related as closely as possible to that stated above."
