Legacy Giving: Support OCRA Through an Estate Plan

Estate Planning

Create a lasting legacy to fund future research and support programs by donating to The Teal Trust.

Ensure a Life-Saving Legacy

Including OCRA in your estate plan is an easy way to commit to funding crucial research for ovarian and related gynecologic cancers now and in the future.

Your lawyer or financial advisor can assist with either creating or adjusting your estate plans.

We recommend that your bequest be designated for unrestricted purposes or be directed to general research because we cannot predict future medical advances or the future of our patient support programs.

Need help creating an estate plan?

FreeWill, a secure online resource that we have partnered with, guides you through the process of making or updating a legally valid will and including a gift to OCRA. The entire process takes less than 20 minutes and is 100% free. This is an easy way to help patients and support survivors well into the future.

FreeWill can also help you easily plan beneficiaries for your non-probate assets (such as an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will) in one place. You can even designate OCRA as a beneficiary of these kinds of assets if you choose.

Already made a gift to OCRA in your estate plan?

Please fill out this form to let us know so we can say thank you and update our records!

Email donations@ocrahope.org or call 212-268-1002 to notify us of your plans or for further information.
