Bequest Statement

Planned Giving Language

Through a charitable bequest in your will or living trust, you can ensure that Community Bridges will be there for future generations of children, families and seniors in need.

All that is needed is a short statement in your will or trust.

“I give, devise and bequeath to Community Bridges, tax ID# 94-2460211, located at 519 Main Street, Watsonville, CA 95076, [the sum of $_______, or state a percentage of your residuary estate, or designate real and personal property, including exact location] for the benefit of its general purposes [or specify the Community Bridges program you wish to support.]”

This is merely a suggested wording; please consult your attorney or an estate planning professional when preparing legal documents.

For more information, please contact Anna Vaage, Senior Development Analyst, at 831-688-8840 x205 or annav@cbridges.org. We’re here to help.

Do you know of an employer in Santa Cruz or San Benito Counties who supports moms to breastfeed and/or pump breastmilk when they return to work after giving birth? This is a crucial part of the support that families need when moms are separated from their breastfed babies for various reasons, such as going to the workplace, going to school, or just being away from baby for several hours. Breastmilk is produced by a supply and demand process and when moms are at work or cannot directly breastfeed, milk removal is important to maintain the supply their babies need. We want to recognize employers for their efforts to make this possible, so if you know of an employer who supports workplace lactation accommodation, please nominate them for a certificate of recognition. Email erikac@cbridges.org with questions or nominations. ... See MoreSee Less
