4. Remember NAMLE in your Will
A bequest - making a donation through your will - is one of the easiest and more effective ways to make sure that your family, friends and favorite causes are fully provided for by your estate, while at the same time supporting your commitment to media literacy education and to children and teachers everywhere.
A bequest has the added advantage of lowering your federal estate taxes and reducing estate fees. Through your will, you can specify that a portion of your estate is given to the National Association for Media Literacy Education, or you can specify that NAMLE receive a pre-determined fixed gift.
