A Gift in Your Will: Getting Started
- Simplicity. Just a few sentences in your will or trust are all that is needed. Share the sample bequest language for RSNA Research & Education Foundation with your estate planning attorney:
I give, devise and bequeath to Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Research and Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization having its principal offices in Oak Brook, Illinois:
the sum of $___________.
or
____ percent of my estate.
or
all (or ___ percentage of) the rest, residue and remainder of my estate.
This gift is to be used to further the charitable purposes of RSNA Research and Education Foundation at the discretion of its Board of Trustees.
The Radiological Society of North America Research and Education Foundation Taxpayer Identification Number is 15-0539115.
- Flexibility. Because you are not actually making a gift until after your lifetime, you can change your mind at any time.
- Versatility. You can structure the bequest to leave a specific item or amount of money, make the gift contingent on certain events, or leave a percentage of your estate to us.
- Tax Relief. If your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift is entitled to an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift's full value.
Your circumstances may change and you can change your gift at any time.
How It Works
To make a charitable bequest, you need a current will or revocable living trust.
Your gift can be made as a percentage of your estate. Or you can make a specific bequest by giving a certain amount of cash, securities or property. After your lifetime, RSNA Research & Education Foundation receives your gift.

When planning a future gift, it's sometimes difficult to determine what size donation will make sense. Emergencies happen, and you need to make sure your family is financially taken care of first. Including a bequest of a percentage of your estate ensures that your gift will remain proportionate no matter how your estate's value fluctuates over the years.
