For an unrestricted gift that allows Northern Illinois Food Bank to determine how to use the funds based on the most pressing needs, use the following language for your will and/or trust:
“I give, devise and bequeath [written amount, percentage of estate or description of property] to Northern Illinois Food Bank, an Illinois non-profit organization currently located at 273 Dearborn Court, Geneva, IL 60134, Tax ID Number 36-3203648, to be used for its unrestricted purposes.”
If you have named Northern Illinois Food Bank in your will or trust, please let us know so we can ensure that your gift is used according to your wishes. Notifying us of your plans will enable us to plan for the use of your future gift. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous, we will keep your name and gift in strict confidence.
