People often create what’s known as a legacy gift when designating a charity as a beneficiary in a Last Will and Testament. You can gift certain items, property, a sum of money, or a percentage of your estate.
To add a non-profit organization as a beneficiary, you’ll need its Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a federal Tax Income Number (TIN). This is a unique nine-digit number that identifies the organization. Contact the charity for more information on how to leave them a legacy gift.
