Including Carnegie Hill Neighbors in your will is a meaningful way to preserve the spirit of our community for generations to come.  You can leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after your loved ones are cared for.  ​​ To do so, simply include a sentence like: “I give [amount or percentage] to Carnegie Hill Neighbors, a nonprofit organization located in New York, NY, for its general purposes. EIN - 13-3300409" Residuary Bequest  “Residue” is a term to describe the portion of your estate that remains after all debts, expenses and specific bequests to others have first been fulfilled. "All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate I give to Carnegie Hill Neighbors, located in New York, NY  Tax ID 13-3300409​, for its general purposes."​​ Contingent Bequest: CHN can be named as a contingent beneficiary in your will or personal trust if one or more of your specific bequests cannot be fulfilled: "If (insert name) is not living at the time of my demise, I give and devise to Carnegie Hill Neighbors [amount or percentage] to be used for its general purposes. NY Tax ID 13-3300409​" ​We encourage you to speak with your attorney or financial advisor to ensure your wishes are clearly reflected. If you’ve already included Carnegie Hill Neighbors in your plans—or are thinking about doing so—we’d be honored to hear from you.
