Because HBS is constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of business and society, many donors don’t specify a purpose for their bequest, allowing the School to use their gift where it is needed most. If you prefer to direct your gift to a specific purpose, the Office of Planned Giving can help you or your attorney craft a bequest that reflects your wishes.

Here is suggested language to share with your attorney or other advisor when making or updating your will:
I give (____ dollars/___percent or all of the residue of my estate) to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, a Massachusetts educational, charitable corporation, for the benefit of Harvard Business School.
