Bequests & Endowments

Leave a Lasting Legacy

Creating a will or estate plan provides peace of mind, security and stability for you and your loved ones – and for surviving caregivers, it’s especially important to have one in place. By including Mourning Hope in your plans, you ensure your values live on – and that no one will ever have to grieve alone. Your legacy can bring hope and healing for generations to come.

We are incredibly grateful to those donors who wish to leave something for Mourning Hope in their wills or pursuant to beneficiary designations on life insurance, retirement plans or other estate planning documents. We also enjoy a partnership with the Lincoln Community Foundation, Inc. to work directly with our donors to offer charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities or to create endowment funds that will provide for a lasting stream of financial support for us.

All planned giving documents should specify that the gift goes to Mourning Hope of Lincoln, Nebraska. Here is suggested language to incorporate:

I hereby give, devise, and bequeath _______ to the Mourning Hope Grief Center, or its future entity, a nonprofit organization incorporated in Lincoln, Nebraska registered under Federal Tax ID #47-0782915 as Mourning Hope, Inc., to be used for its general use and purpose.
