Gifts through bequests

One of the easiest and most common planned gifts, bequests are made through your will or living trust

How it works

You can leave MLKCH a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or what's left after other needs are met. This is a simple way to support our mission without affecting your current finances. Please work with your attorney to create a bequest.
