There are so many meaningful ways to support Bayside Housing & Services' mission! One of the most powerful ways is to include us in your estate or other planned giving to help ensure that no one need be homeless or hungry in Jefferson County ever again. Thank you for sharing what you've created in your lifetime to ensure that others will continue to thrive into the next!

BEQUESTS

One of the simplest and most common ways to include Bayside in your giving plan is to bequest funds in your will or revocable living trust.

This can be as simple as working with your attorney to add simple bequest language.  Sample language: “I give ________ percentage (__%) of my residual estate to Bayside Housing & Services, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, located at 310 Hadlock Bay Road, Port Hadlock, Washington, tax ID 47-1798297 to be used as determined by Bayside's Board of Directors in support of housing and related services.”

​

Using bequest language in a will or revocable living trust can include donating a percentage of your estate or a specific dollar amount, securities, or real estate.

​

If you'd like to restrict your gift to a specific area of our work (for example, permanent supportive housing, tiny shelter villages, family housing, or our meal programs), please contact our office at donations@baysidehousing.org to discuss your wishes.
