How to Include A Call To College
There are several different vehicles you may want to choose from in making an estate provision for A Call to College. When naming the
organization as a beneficiary in a will or trust, the correct legal designation
is “A Call to College, a nonprofit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Ohio, with principal business address of 314 Granville Street, Newark, Ohio 43055, Taxpayer ID number 31-1333812.”
When naming A Call to College on a life insurance

above information as is practical in the space provided and consult your plan

Finally, your estate commitment really can
serve as an inspiration for others in our community to do likewise.
