Bequests are meaningful sources of funds for our work. Through the foresight and generosity of others, we have been blessed to continue our service to the aged. As you look ahead, please consider a bequest to the Little Sisters of the Poor.

You can use a variety of vehicles including the following:

• Your Will,
• A Living Trust,
• A Charitable Remainder Trust,
• A life insurance beneficiary,
• A retirement plan beneficiary.

You simply state:

“I give to the Little Sister of the Poor of Los Angeles to be used at their discretion, the following gift.

For example:

• ___% (amount in percent) of my estate
• The residual of my estate (after other gifts)
• The specific stock, property, policy or asset.

Remember there may be tax benefits that come from your gift, such as a deduction from income tax, avoidance of capital gain tax, and avoidance of estate tax. Planning ahead can benefit you as well as the work of the Little Sisters.

If you plan a gift to the Little Sisters of the Poor of Los Angeles, we welcome you to confidentially notify us so we might express our gratitude in your lifetime.
