A Gift to the American Foundation for the Blind

A practical way to make a planned gift to the American Foundation for the Blind is to include AFB in your will or revocable trust, or as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance. If you have already made a provision to include AFB in your financial planning, please notify us by completing and returning this document. By documenting your bequest intention, AFB will have an opportunity to recognize your generous support in your lifetime.

Information provided to signify your bequest intention to AFB will remain completely confidential unless you authorize AFB to publicize your gift. AFB understands that all bequest provisions are revocable, and any intentions stated here are not binding on you or your estate.

I have made revocable gift commitments for the American Foundation for the Blind as follows (check all that apply):

Bequest Approximate value: $_______________

If your gift is for a percentage of your estate, rather than a fixed amount, AFB will be happy to use your good faith estimate of the current value based on this percentage. While not required, you may wish to include a copy of the relevant portion of related documents.
