2016 Spring/Summer Highlights of Hope

LEAVING A LEGACY FOR
FUTURE GENERATIONS
Including Van Andel Institute (VAI) in your estate plans is a great way to make
a lasting impact on biomedical research and science education that will benefit
generations to come. Donors who include VAI in their estate plans are invited to
join the Society of Hope and receive recognition in our annual report.

Here are a few planning strategies that can help you provide
for your heirs and leave your legacy:
Bequests
A bequest made through
your will or trust is one of
the most common ways to
provide from your estate for
heirs and favorite charities.
You can make a bequest of a
dollar amount, specific asset
or percentage of your estate.
Beneficiary designations
By completing a simple form,
you can designate heirs and
charities as the beneficiary
of retirement plans, financial
accounts and life insurance
policies.
Give it twice trust
You can set up a special
charitable remainder trust that
will pay income to your heirs
and then leave the remaining
principle to a charity.
