Naming Ronald McDonald House Buffalo as a beneficiary in your Will is one of the simplest legacy-giving options available to you. One way to contribute is to designate a percentage of what is left of your estate or assets after other gifts or debts have been paid. This is known as a “residual gift”.
You can leave a residual gift to Ronald McDonald House Buffalo by asking your attorney to add some simple wording to your will. This will not impact the gifts you leave to your loved ones.

Sample wording for a residual gift in your will: “I give to Ronald McDonald House Buffalo, currently of 780 West Ferry Street, Buffalo NY 14222 all [or a designated percentage] of the residual of my estate, to be used at the discretion of the organization.”
You can also opt to leave a fixed sum of money to charity in your will, known as a “specific gift”. You can leave a specific gift to Ronald McDonald House Buffalo by asking your attorney to add some simple wording to your will. This will not impact the gifts you leave to your loved ones.
