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

“I give to Rails to Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 2445 M Street, NW, Suite 650, Washington, DC 20037, 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 RTC.

Please note: The policies of RTC do not allow RTC or its representatives to serve as personal representative, executor, trustee or witness for a will or trust.
