Your legacy giving protects the longevity of Sacramento Ballet. We invite you to fund the future of ballet by including the Sacramento Ballet in your will or trust, or by adding the Sacramento Ballet as a beneficiary to your life insurance policy.

There are different kinds of bequests. For each, you must use very specific language to indicate the precise direction of your assets, and to successfully carry out your final wishes.

Types of Bequests and Language to Use

  • GENERAL BEQUESTS

Legacies left to certain people or causes that come from the general value of the estate, and are made by designating a specific dollar amount, a particular asset or a fixed percentage of your estate to the cause of your choice.

General Bequest Language:

“I give, devise, and bequeath to The Sacramento Ballet Endowment/2420 N Street, Suite 100 Sacramento, CA 95816, the sum of $________ (or a description of the specific asset), for the benefit of The Sacramento Ballet Association and its general purposes.”

  • RESIDUARY BEQUESTS

Made when you intend to leave the residue portion of your assets after other terms of the will have been satisfied.

Residuary Bequest Language:

“All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, I give to The Sacramento Ballet Endowment/2420 N Street, Suite 100 Sacramento, CA 95816, for its general purposes.”

  • CONTINGENCY BEQUESTS

Allows you to leave a portion of your estate to a particular charity if your named beneficiary does not survive you.

Contingency Bequest Language:

“I devise and bequeath the residue of the property, real and personal and wherever situated, owned by me at my death, to (name of beneficiary), if (she/he) survives me. If (name of beneficiary) does not survive me, I devise and bequeath my residuary estate to The Sacramento Ballet Endowment/2420 N Street, Suite 100 Sacramento, CA 95816, for its general purposes.”
