Ways to Give

bequests to the signet society

Planning for the future and creating the legacy you wish to leave is one of the most effective ways to ensure a lasting impact. Making a gift in your will or living trust, known as a bequest, can guarantee that your legacy endures. Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after all other provisions are specified. Thank you, from the entire Signet community!

If you have named the Signet in your will or trust, please let us know so we can ensure that your gift is used according to your wishes (617-547-0526; contact us.) Notifying us of your plans will enable us to plan for the use of your future gift. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous, we will keep your name and gift in strict confidence.

Our legal name is Signet Associates, and our Federal tax ID number is: 04-6040508

sample bequest language

"I give to Signet Associates, a Massachusetts educational, charitable corporation currently located at 46 Dunster Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, or its successor thereto, _________ [written dollar amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose."

To designate your provision for a particular purpose:

"I give to Signet Associates, a Massachusetts educational, charitable corporation currently located at 46 Dunster Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, or its successor thereto, _________ [written dollar amount or percentage of the estate or description of property]. This gift should be used for (state purpose) if and so long as Signet Associates determines that the need exists. If Signet Associates shall determine at the outset or at a later time that the need does not exist, or no longer exists, or for some reason it is not possible (or prudent) to administer my gift as originally intended, then Signet Associates may, in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, direct the use of my bequest for a purpose related as closely as possible to that stated above."
