Donor Story: A Bequest to Further Good Work

Nancy and David were dedicated supporters. Over the years, they had seen many individuals helped by the good work of American Friends of Magen David Adom. They wanted to create a legacy to provide future resources to continue its mission.

David: The work of AFMDA was important to us. We regularly made cash gifts but wanted to do more. We received AFMDA's newsletter and noted that we could make a gift from our estate and join the legacy society.

Nancy: We met with our lawyer to revise our wills, and we each included a provision for a bequest to AFMDA. Our lawyer put language in the will that allows a percentage of our estate to go to AFMDA. This was easy to arrange and permits us to still use our assets during our lives if we need them.

David: We told their gift planner about our decision and were excited when we were invited to a special event honoring us. We will continue to make gifts during our lives, but it feels good to know that our support will help in the future.
