Whether through a gift today or as part of your legacy, we invite you to explore the many ways that you can empower girls to become stronger, smarter, and bolder than they ever thought possible:
Bequest: Gift in your Will or Living Trust
You want to leave money to Girls Inc. in your will. You also want the flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change. You can do both. In as little as one sentence, you can complete your gift. This type of donation to Girls Inc. in your will or living trust helps ensure that we continue our mission for years to come.
A Sample Bequest
A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends or Girls Inc of Pinellas as part of your estate plan.
Here’s a sample:
“I give to Girls Incorporated of Pinellas, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 7700 61st Street N, Pinellas Park, Florida 33781, or its successor thereto, ______________* [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”
Next Steps

Beneficiary Designations
Name us as a beneficiary of the policy. This gift is as simple as updating your beneficiary designation form with the policy holder. You can designate us as the primary beneficiary for a percentage or specific amount. You can also make us the contingent beneficiary so that we will receive the balance of your policy only if your primary beneficiary doesn’t survive you.
If you prefer the increased flexibility that a beneficiary designation gift provides, you can attach it to:
- IRAs and 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans
- Life insurance policies
- Commercial annuities
- checking and savings accounts
- brokerage accounts

I once read a quote that went something like “In the end (and there will be an end) only our story will remain. The fruit of our lives are the gifts we leave to the world.” Sharing your story through a planned giving donation builds that connective fabric from one generation to the next. Thank you for making Girls Inc a part of your life’s story.
