Most of us know the importance of having a will to ensure that your future and legacy are secured. Including your favorite nonprofit, such as LifeWorks NW, in your will or estate plan helps ensure their future, too!  

There are many different ways to include nonprofit organizations in your estate planning.  You can:

  • Designate a nonprofit as a life insurance beneficiary 
  • Create a “Payable on Death” (POD) designation on your:
    • Checking accounts
    • Savings accounts
    • Investment accounts 
    • Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) 

For more information about these opportunities, talk with your bank or financial advisor.
