Bequests, the most common planned gifts, can be made either by including Maret School in your will or through the addition of a codicil arranging for a bequest to the School. A percentage of the estate, a fixed dollar amount, or a particular asset can be gifted to Maret.
Why Are Bequests Important to Maret?
As we seek to strengthen our endowment, bequests are particularly important. Bequests may be unrestricted or designated to the general endowment, to a particular endowed fund, or to a program agreed upon with the School.
How Will My Gift to Maret Be Used?
Unrestricted bequests are used where they are most needed. The majority will be added to our endowment. If you wish, you may request that your gift be added to an existing endowment, such as one designated for faculty salaries or scholarships. If you are interested in establishing a new fund or designating your bequest to a particular program, please discuss your plans with the Development Office.
What is the School's Legal Name?
It is very important that the name be written correctly in your will. The legal name and address is:
Maret School, Inc.
3000 Cathedral Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20008
