Sample Language for Your Will or Trust

The following language may help you and your attorney when drawing up a bequest that meets your needs.

“I give to Compassion International Inc., an Illinois nonprofit corporation with its principal offices at 12290 Voyager Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80921-3668, or its successor thereto, ______________* [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

*If you are interested in supporting a specific project or program, it is best to discuss your plans with our planned giving professionals before completing your bequest language to confirm your wishes can be met by Compassion International.

Please contact us if you want to discuss making Compassion International a personal representative, executor, trustee or witness for a will or trust.
