A charitable bequest allows individuals to retain use of and control over their assets during their lifetime, and remains fully revocable.
When you advise us in writing of the date you executed a will, naming ORT America, Inc. for a charitable bequest; we can confirm your joining the de Gunzbourg Society.
Membership in the Heritage Club of the de Gunzbourg Society is conferred upon individuals making an irrevocable planned gift of $50,000 or more.
