Create your legacy.

Support Not These Ovaries through your will and leave a lasting impact on ovarian cancer research.

Make a bequest gift.

Planning for the future and creating the legacy you wish to leave behind is one of the most powerful ways to ensure your values endure. By including Not These Ovaries in your will or living trust (known as a bequest), you can make a profound difference in the fight against ovarian cancer that continues long after your lifetime.

Your bequest to Not These Ovaries will help fund critical research for borderline ovarian cancer and low-grade serous ovarian cancer — subtypes that primarily affect younger women and have historically received less attention in traditional research. Your generosity will directly support innovative clinical trials and studies that can lead to better detection, more effective treatments, and improved survival rates.

Why Consider a Bequest?

Create a lasting legacy that reflects your commitment to fighting ovarian cancer.
Make a significant impact without affecting your current financial situation.
Maintain control of your assets throughout your lifetime.
Potentially reduce estate taxes for your heirs.
Inspire others to consider how they might support this crucial research.

Bequest Options

Your bequest can take several forms, depending on what works best for your situation:

Specific dollar amount: Designate a fixed sum to Not These Ovaries.
Percentage of your estate: Allocate a portion of your estate after other provisions.
Residuary bequest: Leave remaining assets after all other bequests have been satisfied.
Contingent bequest: Make Not These Ovaries the recipient only under certain circumstances.

Suggested Bequest Language

If you’re considering including Not These Ovaries in your estate plans, the following language may be helpful when working with your attorney:

For an unrestricted gift that allows Not These Ovaries to direct funds where most needed:

“I give to Not These Ovaries, Inc, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 31 NE 17th St, Ste 1803, Miami FL 33132, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose to support ovarian cancer research.”

For a gift designated for a specific purpose:

“I give to Not These Ovaries, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 31 NE 17th St, Ste 1803, Miami FL 33132, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property]. This gift should be used for [state focus area or if unrestricted donation] if and so long as Not These Ovaries determines that the need exists. If Not These Ovaries shall determine at the outset or at a later time that the need does not exist, or no longer exists, or for some reason it is not possible to administer my gift as originally intended, then Not These Ovaries may, in its sole discretion, direct the use of my bequest for a purpose related as closely as possible to that stated above.”
