"I give to Gettysburg College, a nonprofit corporation with a tax ID of 23-1352641, currently located at 300 N. Washington Street, Gettysburg, PA 17325, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose."
To designate your provision for a particular purpose contact Jane Moore at 717-337-6483 or jmoore@gettysburg.edu so that we can take appropriate steps to ensure your gift is used according to your wishes.
If you previously named Gettysburg College in your will or trust please notify Jane Moore so that we can officially welcome you to the 1832 Society.
Let us know if you prefer to remain anonymous. We will keep your gift in strict confidence.
