You can name Ailey in your will or trust in a variety of ways:

• Donate a fixed dollar amount
• Donate specific property (such as stock)
• Donate a percentage of your estate
• Donate all or a specified portion of the residue of your estate (the assets that remain after specific bequests have been fulfilled)
• Name Ailey as a contingent beneficiary (to receive assets in the event that a specific named beneficiary should predecease you)

Your attorney can assist you in determining which gift options are best for you. You should use the name “Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation, Inc.” and Tax ID # 13-2584273 when making your gift.

Benefits:

• You can retain control over your assets during your lifetime
• You can modify your bequest if circumstances change
• You can direct your bequest to a particular purpose (please speak with our Development Office first, to ensure that your gift is structured to accomplish your wishes and objectives)
• Your gift will help assure Ailey’s future
