Why leave a legacy or bequest to the United States Blind Golf Association (USBGA)?
Estate planning that includes bequests or legacy gifts provides crucia

l long-term funding that allows the USBGA to plan for the future and allows us to continue to offer golfing opportunities to individuals who are blind or visually impaired. A legacy gift means your gift priorities during your lifetime continue after your death. We understand that leaving a legacy or bequest
is an amazing act of commitment and that we have a great responsibility to the people who choose to support our mission and goals in this way. We deeply appreciate your commitment to the work our association provides and we take this gift very seriously.
By remembering USBGA in your will, you can play a significant role in helping the next generation who will face vision challenges, to live with dignity and independence because we will be there to provide the support to overcome their limitations and the opportunity to learn and continue to play the wonderful game of golf.
Recent changes in tax laws make it essential that you indicate your priorities in a will and work out the best vehicles to do that with a planner. Here are some ways you may wish to participate:
- Bequest in your will
- Designate the USBGA as a beneficiary in your life insurance, IRA, annuity or other retirement plan
- A stock gift
- One of many options is to continue to provide for heirs and still leave a charitable gift
These options need to be discussed with your financial planner or attorney. Potential wording for a (USBGA) bequest is:
“I hereby give, devise and bequeath to the United States Blind Golf Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, located at, ______ with tax number______ the sum of $ __________ or _______ % of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate for its general purposes (or describe a specific purpose).”
If you have any questions about planned gifts we recommend you speak with an attorney or a financial planner.
