Bequests for Unrestricted Purposes
Unrestricted gifts are to be used for the greatest need at the time to be determined by the Board. A general unrestricted bequest is especially valued by us.

I give, devise and bequeath [identify here a specific sum of money, specific asset, or a portion of the remainder of your estate] to Beaufort Memorial Hospital Endowment Foundation, P.O. Box 2233, Beaufort, SC 29901, to be used for the benefit of Beaufort Memorial Hospital, 955 Ribaut Road, Beaufort, SC 29902, in such a manner as the Foundation Board of Trustees thereof may direct.

Bequests for Restricted Purposes
If you would like to honor a family member, a special person or provide support for a specific program or department that was meaningful to you, then you can designate your bequest specifically for that purpose. Often specific guidelines govern the use of these types of funds. Therefore, we recommend that you contact us to discuss your restricted gift. We are here to help you as you plan.
