A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It’s one of the most popular and flexible ways you can support INTEGRIS Health. It’s also one of the easiest gifts to make.
What Can I Leave to the Foundation?
With the help of an advisor, you can include a gift to INTEGRIS Health Foundation in your will or trust in a way that best fits your goals. A bequest doesn’t have to be cash. Many donors choose to give non-cash assets that hold significant value and may reduce estate taxes.
You may choose to:
Leave a specific dollar amount, asset, or piece of property
Gift from the balance or residue of your estate
Designate INTEGRIS Health Foundation as a beneficiary of retirement accounts, stocks or bonds, real estate, or other personal property
These legacy gifts help ensure that INTEGRIS Health can continue delivering exceptional care for generations to come.

Bequest Language
To make a bequest, you should speak with your attorney. Your attorney can help you include a bequest to INTEGRIS Health Foundation in your estate plan.
If you are considering making an outright bequest to INTEGRIS Health Foundation, we recommend the following language:
I hereby give, direct (amount) to INTEGRIS Health Foundation, a nonprofit organization located at PO Box 57380, Oklahoma City, OK, 73157, Federal Tax ID #73-1047338, for INTEGRIS Health Foundation's general use and purpose.
If you are considering a bequest but would like to ensure that it will be used for a specific purpose, please let us know. We will be happy to work with you and your attorney to meet your charitable objectives.
What if I don’t have a will?
People who have not created a will are still able to leave certain assets to the INTEGRIS Health Foundation.
Life Insurance
If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making INTEGRIS Health Foundation the beneficiary and receive a charitable tax deduction.
Benefits of Giving Life Insurance
Receive a charitable income tax deduction.
If we retain the policy to maturity, you can receive additional tax deductions by making annual gifts to cover premium payments.
If we cash in the policy, you’ll see the immediate impact of your gift on our work.
If retained to maturity or designated with INTEGRIS Health Foundation as the beneficiary, the full proceeds will support our mission once the policy matures.
How to Give Life Insurance
To make a gift, contact your life insurance provider and request a beneficiary designation form. List INTEGRIS Health Foundation as the beneficiary.
If you’ve already named us a beneficiary, please let us know. We’d love to thank and recognize you.
You may designate us as a partial, full, or contingent beneficiary. You retain control of the policy during your lifetime, and your estate may qualify for a charitable tax deduction.
Your potential tax deduction depends on the policy’s value, whether it’s paid up, and any remaining premium payments.
Giving Without a Will
You don’t need a will or trust to make a powerful, lasting gift to INTEGRIS Health Foundation. Many impactful legacy gifts are made by simply naming the Foundation as a beneficiary of existing assets.
Assets You Can Give Without a Will
Retirement accounts (IRA, 401(k), 403(b))
Securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds)
Life insurance policies
Bank or brokerage accounts
Donor-advised funds
How to Give Without a Will
Contact your account, plan administrator, or insurance provider and request a beneficiary designation form. You can name INTEGRIS Health Foundation as the full, partial, or contingent beneficiary of the account or policy.
These gifts pass directly to the Foundation—outside of probate—and can be updated at any time without changing your will or estate plan.
