You Can Make the Future
Your generous support will help the next generation of girls to take on the world.
I want Lincoln to be here for girls 20, 50, 100 years from now. For this reason, I have made a provision for Lincoln School in my will. As a loyal annual supporter, I know this gift will further my commitment well beyond my lifetime. It was also a smart decision for me financially.

Making a Bequest to Lincoln School
Outright bequests in your will are the most straightforward way to leave a planned gift to Lincoln. Bequests to Lincoln are free of state and federal estate taxes because they will qualify your estate for a charitable deduction equal to the entire amount of the bequest.
Some basic information that you will need includes:
Legal Name: Lincoln School
EIN Tax ID: 05-0258900
Address: 301 Butler Avenue, Providence, RI 02906
To make a bequest, you may want to consider the following sample bequest language:
Specific Bequest: I give, devise, and bequeath ___________________________(insert dollar amount or item of property to be donated) to Lincoln School, 301 Butler Avenue, Providence, RI 02906, EIN #05-0258900, or its successor, to be used for its general benefit, operations and purposes.

Contingency Gift: If _______________________(name of beneficiary) does not survive me, or shall die during the administration of my estate, or as a result of a common disaster, then I give, devise, and bequeath to Lincoln School, 301 Butler Avenue, Providence, RI, EIN #05-0258900, or its successor, all of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, to be used for its general benefit, operations and purposes.
