Creating a Bequest
Gifts through Your Will or Trust

SAFE has been effectively interrupting the cycle of abuse and violence in Central Texas for decades. We've been able to do this in part because years ago, people just like you made a decision to build their family's legacy and invested in the future of SAFE's important work through a bequest.  You can become an important founder of our future, too.

Including SAFE in your will  is an easy, flexible way to  leave a gift to SAFE that will make a lasting impact. It's a gift that costs you nothing in your lifetime, but can change a life forever!

How Does a Bequest Work?

Building your legacy is one of the most important decisions you may ever make – for you, your family and your charity of choice. We are here to support you and your advisors in your legacy planning in whatever ways we can. 


A Gift in Your Will Is Easy To Make

A bequest is an intentional gift you can leave in your will or trust.  It's easy to implement, and simple to change at any time.  You can work with your own professional advisors to create a bequest for SAFE in your will, or you can create and update your will for free in about 20 minutes.  Get started here.


Here are some ways you can create a bequest to SAFE:


  • Include a gift to SAFE in your will or revocable trust
  • Designate SAFE as a full, partial or contingent beneficiary of your retirement account (IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or pension)
  • Name SAFE as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy


There Are Benefits When You Give Through a Bequest

Many donors find that they can reduce the burden of taxes on their family, receive an estate tax charitable deduction and leave a lasting legacy through SAFE for generations to come.


A Gift Through Your Will or Trust is a Future Gift

Making a bequest is a way to support SAFE without affecting your existing asset balance or cash flow. There are no substantial costs and you can continue your current lifestyle.

A Gift By Will Creates A Lasting Legacy

Including SAFE in your will demonstrates your commitment to the future of SAFE, and a bequest can allow you to increase your support to a level you may have always aspired to achieve, but didn't think you could.

As always, we suggest that you seek the advice of your financial or legal advisor to make sure this gift fits your goals.
