Family or Charity? The Answer Is Both

Naming Hospice of the Western Reserve as a beneficiary in your will is a simple way to enable the future of our important work. But maybe you’ve hesitated because you’re unsure about how much to give. Fortunately, there’s a solution.

Percentage Giving 

Instead of a fixed amount, consider gifting a percentage of your estate or of specific assets. That way, gifts to loved ones and to organizations such as Hospice of the Western Reserve remain proportional—no matter how your estate fluctuates.

Here are three simple ways to put family first while supporting those we serve:

1. Gift a percentage of your estate to Hospice of the Western Reserve in your will.

2. Leave us a percentage of your residual estate (the portion of your estate that remains after all gifts have been made and all claims of the estate are satisfied).
3. Name us as a beneficiary of a percentage of your life insurance policy or retirement account.

Every Gift Counts!

Even a small percentage of your estate makes a big impact on Hospice of the Western Reserve. Contact Laura J. Frye at 216.255.9066 or lfrye@hospicewr.org to learn more about supporting those we serve while putting family first.
