Leave a legacy to Western University of Health Sciences.

A bequest is a precious final gift that can breathe life into someone else's dreams.  We at WesternU are honored to be a trustee of such gifts of final and lasting charity. Bequests have made some of WesternU's dreams become realities.  They have provided us with crucial funding to create state-of-the-art facilities out of new and existing buildings, hire vital staff, support innovative research in areas of health sciences, launch new academic programs and award scholarships to deserving students. We appreciate your consideration of such a gift.

Bequests are traditionally made in a Will or Living Trust with the aid of a legal advisor.  We encourage you to seek professional advice before making a gift of this kind. A bequest may be designated to the University general fund to support all of our exemplary colleges or it may be directed to a specific college, program and/or department.

Bequests may also be directed to help students with scholarships, award academic achievement or to fulfill a lifetime pledge.  The choice is up to you as the donor.

In any legal document specifying the terms of a bequest, it is crucial that the University be clearly identified as:

Western University of Health Sciences, a California Non-Profit Corporation

Our address is: 309 East Second Street, Pomona, CA  91766-1854

Please be specific if you wish a particular college, department and/or program to receive your gift.

A bequest can be made for a specified dollar value or a percentage of your estate.

Furthermore, a bequest can be for the residual of your estate or as a contingent beneficiary after other specific gifts are completed.  A bequest can be made in the form of cash, personal property, securities, real estate or a life insurance beneficiary designation.

Some sample language follows:

• A Per Cent Bequest

I give, bequeath, and devise ( percentage amount ) to Western University of Health Sciences, a California Non-Profit Corporation, for use in ( state general fund, college, department or specific program ).

• A Specific Bequest

I give, bequeath, and devise ( state amount or item ) to Western University of Health Sciences, a California Non-Profit Corporation, for use in ( state general fund, college, department or specific program ).

• Residual Bequest

I give, bequeath, and devise ( all or state a percentage share ) of the rest, residue, and remainder of my property, both real and personal, which I may be entitled to at my death, to Western University of Health Sciences, a California Non-Profit Corporation for use in ( state general fund, college or specific program).

The illustrations above are intended for sample purposes only.  We urge you to consult with legal and financial advisors when completing your estate plan.
