Bequests

One of the simplest and most impactful ways to support Far + Wise is by making a bequest in your will or trust. You can:

  • Leave a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate

  • Gift real property or other assets

  • Make a residual gift after your loved ones are provided for

Bequests are flexible, easy to establish, and can be modified at any time.

Beneficiary Designations

You can also name Far + Wise as a beneficiary of:

  • A retirement account (IRA, 401(k), etc.)

  • A life insurance policy

  • An investment or brokerage account

This type of gift is easy to arrange—often requiring only a simple form from your plan provider—and may offer tax advantages to your estate or heirs.
