Adding a Measure of Flexibility

No one can anticipate the changes and developments that may occur in the specific mission of University of Northwestern,  Northwestern Media and Life 88.5 in the coming years. When drafting a bequest, especially one having a restricted purpose, it is helpful to add a “saving clause.” This helps to ensure that the Foundation may always apply the funds or property in a manner that will most closely meet the donor’s original intention. Such a clause might read as follows:

“If, at any time, the Board of Trustees of University of Northwestern and Northwestern Media, acting in their sole discretion, determines that the stated use or purpose of this bequest shall no longer be necessary, advisable, feasible or desirable to carry out the mission of University of Northwestern, Northwestern Media, Life 88.5, and its supported organizations, the Board of Trustees shall have the authority to designate the fund created by this bequest for that purpose that they, in their sole discretion, determine to most closely carry out my original intention.”
