Sample Language
For an unrestricted gift that allows the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption 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 Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®, a nonprofit corporation located at 4900 Tuttle Crossing Blvd., Dublin, OH 43016, 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 [xxx dollars] to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption for Wendy’s Wonderful Kids. However, if the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption determines that it is not feasible or economical to use this gift for that purpose, then such gift shall be used for such exempt purposes as the staff of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption shall determine."
If you have named the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption in your will or trust, please let us know. Notifying us of your plans will enable us to plan for the use of your future gift. Information you share will be maintained in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
