“I give [description of gift] to The Alexander Foundation (EIN 03‑0534249), presently located at PO Box 584, Grand Blanc, MI 48439, with the preference that it be used for [program or purpose]. If, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, it becomes impossible, impracticable, or undesirable to carry out this preference, the Board may direct that the gift be used for a purpose that most nearly accomplishes my intent.”

Endowed bequest (to create a named fund)

You can also support TAF without changing your will by naming us as a beneficiary of certain accounts:

Life insurance policies
Donor‑advised funds (DAFs)
Bank or investment accounts via Payable on Death (POD) or Transfer on Death (TOD)
