BEQUESTS

“We’ve been donating to The Bushnell for years. We do it because it’s good for the city. We do it because we want other people to enjoy it too.”

- Edie Murphy, 2004

By including a bequest to The Bushnell in your will, you can enrich and delight future generations. It’s simple to do, too – by designating a specific dollar amount or asset, or a percentage of your estate.

If you would like to add a bequest to The Bushnell to your will, here are a few things we’d like you to have:

Our Legal Name and Address

The Horace Bushnell Memorial Hall Corporation
166 Capitol Avenue
Hartford, CT 06106

Sample Language For Making An Unrestricted Bequest

For making a dollar-specific bequest: “I give and bequeath the sum of ____ dollars ($____) to The Horace Bushnell Memorial Hall Corporation, located at 166 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut, for its general corporate purposes.”

For making a residuary bequest:: “I give and bequeath ____ percent (____%) to The Horace Bushnell Memorial Hall Corporation, located at 166 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut, for its general corporate purposes.”

An unrestricted bequest will allow The Bushnell to direct your gift to the area where it is most needed. If you are interested in restricting your bequest to a specific area, we ask that you contact us first so that we can help you create language that will ensure your wishes can be accommodated.

Did you know…

...that only half of adults age 55 or over in the United States have a will? By writing a will, you choose just how you want your assets distributed in the future and take care of the family and charities you love, which could result in estate tax savings for your heirs (they’ll love you even more for that!).
