Recommended language for a bequest:

If you are giving through another vehicle and need to change the Beneficiary Designation: 

1. Contact your retirement plan administrator, insurance company, bank, or financial institution for a change-of-beneficiary, Payable on Death (POD), or Transfer on Death (TOD) form.
2. Name Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin Educational Foundation as a beneficiary on the form and designate the percentage you would like to give to the Bike Fed (1-100%).  Some financial institutions allow for a flat dollar amount provided the amount is still in the account.
3. Return the completed form to your plan administrator, insurance company, bank, or financial institution.
