4. Name Ensaaf in Your Will
A charitable bequest for Ensaaf may be included in your will when it is written or revised. You may also add a bequest through a codicil, a separate document consisting of an amendment to an existing will. All charitable bequests are fully deductible from your gross estate. Please consult an attorney to adapt the language to your individual circumstances.
5. Give Life Insurance
If you own a life insurance policy that is no longer needed for the protection of your family, you may use it to make a gift to Ensaaf. One option is to make Ensaaf both owner and irrevocable beneficiary of the policy, which would entitle you to an income tax deduction based on either the total value of the premiums paid, or the cash surrender value, whichever is less. An alternative is to name Ensaaf beneficiary of a policy you receive through your place of employment.
