Donate NowPlanning Your Legacy Gift
Smart planning starts here
Making a legacy gift doesn't have to be difficult. Our planned giving resources can help you and your advisor explore your options and make informed decisions. Gain a better understanding of how a gift through your will, trust or legacy plan can benefit you and the Alzheimer's Association.
Sample language for your will or trust
Using the correct wording in your will, trust or alternate plan is essential to ensure your wishes are followed as you intend. Should you choose to include the Alzheimer's Association, our sample language can help guide your will or trust.
To leave a gift for the Alzheimer's Association in your plans, we recommend the following language, which should be shared with your attorney and/or financial planner.
Recommended sample language
"I give [the residue of my estate], or [ ______% of the residue of my estate], or [the sum of __________ dollars] to the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association, Inc. (the Alzheimer's Association), Tax ID #13-3039601, whose home office address is currently 225 N. Michigan Ave., Floor 17, Chicago, Illinois 60601-7633 in support of its full mission."

Financial and legal planning for caregivers
As a caregiver, you know the importance of having a daily or weekly plan in place. Having a clear, well-defined legacy plan is essential because it allows the person with dementia to be involved in the decision-making process and to express their wishes and intentions, while they still can. It also allows time to work through the complex issues involved in long-term care and other health care decisions.
Planning now for the future means less stress for you and your loved one, knowing you will be prepared, as best you can be, when the time comes. The Alzheimer's Association has resources to help you assess those important financial and legal considerations that you're dealing with now and in the future.
