Estate planning is traditionally considered complex, scary, and expensive. FreeWill set out to change that and build a simple tool that anyone can use to create these important documents. All estate plans made using FreeWill are 100% legal and specifically tailored to your jurisdiction.

At CAP, we believe everyone should have the power to choose their own story and legacy. So we want to empower each and every member of our community with the tools and resources they need to make their wishes to care for the people and the causes they love the most.

If you are interested in other planned giving vehicles, we can partner with a foundation of your choice to create the legacy you want. Please include us in that conversation; we want to assist to make sure your legacy is executed properly.

If you have any questions, please contact giving@capnw.org or 503.278.3850.

If you already have a will, your attorney can assist in amending the will or adding a codicil to make the gift. Your attorney is likely to ask for the formal name of the organization and to determine the tax-deductibility of gifts to the organization. Here is some sample language you can provide the attorney:

• I give to Cascade AIDS Project, an Oregon nonprofit corporation (Tax ID #93-0903383) recognized as exempt from tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with its principal offices located at 520 NW Davis Street, Suite 215, Portland, Oregon, [all (or ___%) of my residuary estate} or {the sum of $______} to be used for its general purposes.

Have you already included a gift in your will or trust?
