Whether you use a codicil (an addition to an existing will), or are having a will prepared for the first time, you can use these words to make a gift to Mission Hospice:

"I give, devise and bequeath (choose one: ______ percent of my estate, _______ dollars, ______ percent of the residue of my estate) to Mission Hospice (Tax ID #94-2567162), a California nonprofit corporation, to be used in such a manner as the Board of Directors of Mission Hospice shall, in its discretion, determine."

However, if you have a specific purpose in mind, please contact Dwight Wilson, Mission Hospice CEO at (650) 554-1000 so that he can assist you in planning a gift that meets both your interests and the goals of Mission Hospice. It is wise to discuss with your attorney how best to structure your will to provide for loved ones and achieve your philanthropic objectives.
