A Gift Through Your Will Or Living Trust
If you would like to include BHS in your will or living trust, please use our full legal name:
Brooklyn Heights Synagogue
I hereby give, devise and bequeath ___________ [a dollar amount; or all or a percentage of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate] to Brooklyn Heights Synagogue, now or formerly in the City of New York, 131 Remsen Street, in Kings County in the State of New York, for its general purposes.
The I.R.S. recognizes Brooklyn Heights Synagogue as a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Our federal tax ID number is 11-2404508.
A Gift of Retirement Funds, Life Insurance, and Bank Accounts
Naming BHS as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, IRA, life insurance policy, or bank or brokerage account, is a generous way to make a legacy gift “outside” a will. Like a bequest, these gifts help ensure the future of this welcoming and diverse Synagogue community.
These gifts are easy to implement, and giving retirement funds is a tax-wise strategy for many donors. Contact your plan or policy administrator for a change of beneficiary form for retirement and life insurance accounts. For bank or brokerage accounts, you will need to complete the appropriate form. You will need the following information:
Address: 131 Remsen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Telephone: 718-522-2070
Tax ID: 11-2404508
