When a friend of Grace Bible College remembers the college in his or her will, they donor provides financial resources of lasting value to Grace students.

A bequest may be unrestricted – that is used for a general purpose – or it can be designated for a particular use. Bequest for a particular use. Bequest may take one of several forms.

• a bequest of a specific amount of cash or a specific asset,
• a percentage of one’s net estate (for example, 20% of one’s estate after expenses and taxes are paid),
• a residual bequest (for example, whatever remains after family members of friends are cared for through specific amounts),
• a bequest creating a trust (for example, setting up a Charitable Remainder Trust that will pay out to beneficiaries for a period of time with the remainder to GBC).

If you do not have a will or living trust arrangement, it is very important to contact an attorney to establish an estate plan. If you have a plan in place, it should be reviewed regularly in order to account for any life changes (births, deaths, etc.). also, as stewardship desires change, your trust document should be modified.
