PLANNED
GIVING Throughout its history, the Colony has benefited from legacies of assets, including cash bequests, stocks, real estate, the rights to and royalties from works of art, and useful items such as books, equipment, and furnishings. A Bequest is a very simple way to provide a planned gift, and it often allows donors to make significant contributions that may not have been possible during their lifetimes. We recommend that you have your will prepared by an attorney. Sample language for a bequest may be: “I give and bequeath to The MacDowell Colony, Inc., 100 High Street, Peterborough, New Hampshire, [a specific sum, property, all or percentage of your estate] to be used for the purpose of the Colony [or for a specific purpose designated by you].” Please consider expressing your commitment to MacDowell through a Bequest or planned gift. When you are considering these types of gifts, we would be pleased to assist you and your legal or financial advisors. (L to R) Paul Nordoff, |
