A review of the bequest literature is timely.
In the United States, giving by bequest in
2005 has been estimated at $17.4 billion
(AAFRC Trust, 2006), with more than eight
percent of Americans including a charitable
bequest in their wills (NCPG, 2001). While the
former figure is impressive, the latter suggests
a considerable opportunity to expand this
form of giving, since more than 80 percent
of Americans are estimated to give in their
lifetime. Indeed, when one considers that 82
percent of the nation’s wealthiest individuals
currently leave nothing to charity in their will
(LEAVE A LEGACY®, 2006) the scale of the
opportunity is clear.
