Below, you will find language that may help you and your attorney create a will that meets your needs for an unrestricted bequest. 

Unrestricted Bequest

An unrestricted bequest is the most valuable to Red Panda Network, as it allows us to apply your gift to the area of greatest need.  Examples include specific or residuary. 

“I give to Red Panda Network, an Oregon nonprofit organization located in Eugene, Oregon (EIN # 26-1103671), or its successor organization, (the sum of $ _________ )(or ______% of my estate), (or other property herein described) to be used for its general support and charitable purposes without restriction.”

Contingent Bequest

It is possible that the primary beneficiary or beneficiaries of your estate may predecease you. In that case, a contingent bequest naming Red Panda Network as an alternate beneficiary can provide a meaningful alternative.

“I give [all or ____%] of the residue of the property owned by me at my death, real and personal and wherever situated, to _____________________, if he/she survives me. If he/she does not survive me, I give to Red Panda Network, an Oregon nonprofit organization located in Eugene, Oregon (EIN # 26-1103671), or its successor organization, [all or_______%] of the residue of the property owned by me at death, real and personal and wherever situated, to be used for its general support and charitable purposes without restriction.”

Restricted Bequest

Some donors would like their gift to support a specific project or program. Restricted bequests are welcome, although it is important they provide some flexibility to adapt to changing needs and programs.

“I give to Red Panda Network, an Oregon nonprofit organization located in Eugene, Oregon (EIN # 26-1103671), or its successor organization, the sum of $_________ (or _______% of my estate) (or other property herein described) to be used for (designated purpose*). If at any time it becomes impossible or impractical for my gift to be used for the above-designated purpose, Red Panda Network shall use my gift for a purpose and in a manner that it determines most closely meets the above-designated purpose.”

*If you are interested in supporting a specific project or program, it is best to discuss your plans with our planned giving professionals before completing your will to confirm Red Panda Network can carry out your wishes.
