It’s easy to make a provision for the Institution in your will, trust, or retirement plan and contribute to important ocean discoveries at the same time. Your bequest can be designated to a fund of your choice, can be added to the institution’s general endowment, or can be a completely unrestricted gift. Your generosity ensures that WHOI remains a leader in ocean science.

There are a number of ways to make a bequest to WHOI:

• Designate a specific dollar amount or property
• Set aside a percentage of your total estate or trust
• Give a percentage of your estate to WHOI after other provisions are made for your loved ones
• Assign WHOI all, or a portion, of the assets in your retirement account.
