Bequests
Bequests are the most common charitable planned giving tool. You can direct a dollar amount, percentage, or residual, or bequeath items of value such as real estate or art. Your attorney will prepare your will, but we look forward to connecting. Please refer to our basic bequest language if you are considering including Commonwealth in your plans.
Retirement, Bank, and Investment Accounts
You can name Commonwealth School as a beneficiary of your retirement, bank, or investment account with just a few clicks. Financial institutions make it simple for you; your generosity provides a future for Commonwealth. If you plan to name Commonwealth as a beneficiary of your account, please let us know.
Donor-Advised Funds
Donor-advised funds are powerful and effective philanthropic tools. Have you indicated your wishes for your DAF upon your passing? Many institutions absorb funds unless otherwise noted. By naming Commonwealth as a beneficiary of your DAF, you can ensure your generosity will create opportunity for generations of Mermaids to come.
