Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after all other provisions are specified.
Below is suggested language to use when drafting your bequest.
For an unrestricted gift that allows The Nature Center at Greenburgh to determine how to use the funds based on the most pressing needs, use the following language for your will and/or trust:
“I give to Nunataks, Ltd. D/B/A The Nature Center at Greenburgh, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 99 Dromore Road, Scarsdale, NY 10583, or its successor thereto, [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose.”
To designate your provision for a particular purpose:
“I give to Nunataks, Ltd. D/B/A The Nature Center at Greenburgh, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 99 Dromore Road, Scarsdale, NY 10583, or its successor thereto, [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property]. This gift should be used for (state purpose) if and so long as The Nature Center at Greenburgh determines that the need exists. If The Nature Center at Greenburgh shall determine at the outset or at a later time that the need does not exist, or no longer exists, or for some reason it is not possible (or prudent) to administer my gift as originally intended, then The Nature Center at Greenburgh may, in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, direct the use of my bequest for a purpose related as closely as possible to that stated above.”
