Many AMC supporters make charitable gifts by naming the AMC as a beneficiary in their wills. The federal government encourages these gifts or bequests by allowing an unlimited estate tax charitable deduction.
To make a bequest to the AMC, the following language may be helpful to your lawyer or estate planner:
"I give ____________ ($ amount, percentage of estate, the remainder of my estate) to the Appalachian Mountain Club, 5 Joy Street, Boston, MA 02108, for (its unrestricted use, or a specific purpose, e.g. land stewardship, education, facilities, trails)."
