  • Residuary Bequest: Leaves any remainder after all other bequests have been paid
    All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, I give to University of Cincinnati Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) Corporation, headquartered in Cincinnati, OH for its general purposes.
  • Contingency Gift: Takes effect only if a primary intention can’t be met.
    If (name of beneficiary) does not survive me, or shall die during the administration of my estate, or as a result of a common disaster, then I give to University of Cincinnati Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) Corporation, headquartered in Cincinnati, OH all of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, to be used for its benefit.
  • Safety Language: Language added whenever a gift is restricted
    In the event the purposes of the restriction, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of University of Cincinnati Foundation can no longer be served, the Board may devote any remaining assets exclusively for charitable purposes that: (a) are within the scope of the charitable purposes of charity (b) most nearly approximate the original purpose of the gift; and (c) benefits charity.


* Rather than leaving a sum certain, you can include language that refers to a percentage of your estate or a description of the property you wish to give.
