Include Kindred Box in your will or estate plan.

Every “Kindred Box” we send changes a life. When you include our organization in your estate plans, you're making sure that care, dignity, and vital ostomy supplies continue to reach the people who need them most, long into the future.

Why leave a legacy gift?

A legacy gift is a powerful way to continue your values and extend your impact beyond your lifetime. Your planned gift ensures that underserved ostomates will continue to receive the supplies they need to live with comfort and confidence.

Whether you’ve supported us for years or are just learning about our mission, a gift in your will is a meaningful way to stand with us in the work ahead.

Simple ways to give.

You don’t need to rewrite your will to make a lasting difference. There are several simple ways to include Kindred Box in your estate plans:

  • Name Kindred Box in your will or living trust
    A bequest can be a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or what remains after other gifts are made.

  • Designate Kindred Box as a beneficiary
    You can name us as a beneficiary on your:

    • Retirement plan (like an IRA or 401(k))

    • Life insurance policy

    • Bank or investment account (using a payable-on-death or transfer-on-death designation)

Sample language for your will.

If you'd like to include Kindred Box in your will, here’s some sample wording you can share with your attorney:

“I give to Kindred Box, a nonprofit organization located in Texas, EIN 83-2862153, the sum of $____ (or ___% of my estate; or other property) to be used for its general charitable purposes.”

Let us say thank you!

If you’ve included Kindred Box in your plans, we’d love to hear from you. Your gift—no matter the size—is a promise of continued care for people living with an ostomy.
