How Can I Make a Legacy Gift?

One way to make a lasting impact is by including a bequest to Friendly Water for the World in your will. Your generous gift will not only contribute to providing clean water to communities in need but will also reduce your estate taxes. You have the flexibility to determine the amount, and you can modify your decision at any time.

To include Friendly Water for the World in your will, use the following suggested wording: "I give to Friendly Water for the World, charitable number (EIN #) 27-2510007, the sum of $___."

Alternatively, you can leave a residual gift: "I give to Friendly Water for the World, charitable number (EIN #) 27-2510007, x percent of the residue of my estate."

Ensure the accuracy of your intentions by using our legal information:
Legal name: Friendly Water for the World
Address: 900 Jefferson St. SE, Unit 6070, Olympia, WA 98501
Charitable registration number (EIN #) 27-2510007
