Estate Planning / Legacy Giving

Legacy Giving

The members of our Legacy Club are our generous donors who have completed various estate planning arrangements such as bequests, charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities and other planned gift vehicles, that contribute to naming Mama’s Kitchen as a charitable beneficiary in their future plans either during their lives as a charitable donation and/or after they have passed on as a charitable bequest.

Members of the Legacy Club receive an array of benefits, ranging from our donor newsletter and annual report, to meetings with key Mama’s Kitchen leaders and invitations to special events and seminars.

To ensure that your gift is received by Mama’s Kitchen in the manner you desire, it is important to use proper language in your documents. The following sample bequest language provides the wording that your attorney may want to use when naming Mama’s Kitchen as a beneficiary:

“I give, devise, and bequeath to Mama’s Kitchen, Tax ID# 33-0434246, 1875 Second Avenue, San Diego, California 92101 for its general purposes all (or insert here the percentage or fraction) of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, both real and personal.”

Mama’s Kitchen has also established an endowment fund and a Charitable Gift Annuity instrument with the San Diego Foundation to benefit Mama's Kitchen. A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to your favorite charity, and still receive an income for yourself or others.
