The Weiland Society, Leaving a Legacy for the Future

weiland

The Weiland Society, Leaving a Legacy for the Future,
was established to recognize individuals who have created gifts to GLSEN through tax-wise planned giving. The most frequent planned gifts are made by naming GLSEN, Inc. as a beneficiary of a will, retirement account, life insurance policy or trust. Gifts made by Weiland Society members enable GLSEN to plan long-term - for the programs, activities, and advocacy that will help us realize our vision of ending anti-LGBT bullying and harassment and providing a safe school climate for all regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. A Weiland Society member does not need to have a large income or to amass great personal wealth - most of us have accumulated some assets and care about what person or cause they will benefit in the future. Life and estate planning often allow a larger gift to be made than originally anticipated. You can make a lasting contribution toward ensuring safe schools free of bullying and harassing biased behavior by considering a bequest gift
to GLSEN, Inc.

Here is some simple language:

"I hereby give and bequeath [amount in dollars or percentage amount] to GLSEN Inc., a Massachusetts nonprofit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, having federal tax identification number 04-3234202, with its headquarters currently located at 90 Broad Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10004, for its general purposes."
