These types of gifts are truly flexible ways to support the Rochester Hills Public Library’s mission. Donors may leave a percentage of their estate or a fixed dollar amount. Another option is to name the Library as a residual beneficiary, leaving the Library what remains after specific bequests to loved ones. These may be unrestricted gifts, to support the library endowment or may be used where most urgently needed. Your gift may be restricted for a specific purpose, such as a department, program or the purchase of materials or technology.

The Library Director would be happy to assist donors with the appropriate language to create such gifts, although we urge that independent legal counsel be sought when preparing any type of will or trust.
