bequest society

By including SJE in your estate plans, you can leave a meaningful legacy that supports students for generations to come. Bequest gifts through a will, trust, or other planned giving arrangement provide a lasting investment in the future of our school and its mission.

A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to St. John the Evangelist Catholic School.

There are four ways to make a bequest:

• Percentage of your estate
• Specific dollar amount
• Specific asset
• Residue of your estate 

The official bequest language for St. John the Evangelist Catholic School is:

I give to St. John the Evangelist Catholic School, a California nonprofit Corporation, located in Carmichael, California _____________ dollars ($____________ ).

Alternate 1: property or assets herein described

Alternate 2: ____________ ( ______%) of the residue of my estate

Alternate 3: all the residue of my estate

This gift shall be used for the benefit of St. John the Evangelist Catholic School.
