Our Values Aligned

Many BMC supporters have chosen to advance the values that have been most important in their lives by providing a gift through their estate plan. Regardless of the size of your gift, you can now provide funding to help support our cause in the years to come.

Traditionally, creating a will can be expensive and time-consuming. To solve this problem, BMC is pleased to offer our supporters free access to Giving Docs. Here you can easily create your will and other estate planning documents in just a few minutes. You are not required to leave a gift in order to create a will. This is our gift to you.
