Please consider the Lake Forest Endowment Fund at Adirondack Foundation as a beneficiary of assets.  Assets can be cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, non-publicly traded or privately held stock, tangible property, as well as an IRA, life insurance, or trust.  The following bequest language is suggested:  “I bequeath (amount, percentage, an asset) to Adirondack Foundation, a New York nonprofit corporation with EIN# 16-1535724, for the Lake Forest Endowment Fund”. 

 

While you can continue to withdraw from your retirement fund or IRA plan during your lifetime, by naming the Lake Forest Endowment Fund at Adirondack Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(K), or 403(b), you will avoid income and estate taxes in your final wishes and, at the same time, benefit a community you love.
