Charitable Bequests

Once your family and loved ones have been provided for, a charitable bequest in your will is a thoughtful way to leave your legacy. Bequests can take several forms:

• A stated dollar amount
• A percentage
• A specific asset

We encourage you always to seek legal counsel when you create or revise your will.

Suggested Wording for Charitable Bequests

The following section provides suggested wording for your attorney to use when you make a charitable bequest:

For Hasbro Children's Hospital:
"I give to Rhode Island Hospital Foundation, located in Providence, RI, the sum of $_____ (or otherwise describe the asset) for the benefit of Hasbro Children's Hospital to be used for its unrestricted charitable purposes (or otherwise describe the designation*).

*We recommend the donor or the attorney discuss specific program designations with an officer of the foundation for accuracy, charitable appropriateness and feasibility.
