We Can Help You Create Your Legacy: The Angel Investor Foundation’s Seraphim Society
The Seraphim Society Legacy
The Seraphim Society is a recognition program for Angel Investor Foundation (AIF) and Angel Capital Association (ACA) community members who have included our Foundation in their estate plans. Once you’ve made a planned gift to support our work, you will become a member of The Seraphim Society: receiving special publications, event invitations, exclusive membership gifts and special recognition. Anyone who has notified AIF of their intent to include the Foundation as a beneficiary of their estate plan are eligible. Seraphim Society recognition involves no dues, obligations, or solicitations, but it does allow the Foundation to thank and recognize donors for the plans they have made and to encourage others to follow the example.
Bequest Language
Planning for the future and creating the legacy you wish to leave is one of the most effective ways to ensure a lasting impact. A bequest or other form of planned gift to the Angel Investor Foundation is a powerful expression of your support for the future of angel investing and entrepreneurship. Your gift may either be a dollar amount or a percentage of your estate.
Our 501c3 federal tax ID number is: 86-1212274
Sample Language
Unrestricted Gifts
You may designate your bequest to the AIF to be used for any purpose (an “unrestricted bequest”). Those funds will be applied to the Foundation’s greatest needs at the time your bequest is realized and will provide much-needed funds to meet emerging priorities.
“I, [Name], of [City, State, ZIP], give to the Angel Investor Foundation, located in Overland Park, KS, the sum of $________ [or property described herein] [or _______ percent (___%) of the rest of my estate] to be used by the Angel Investor Foundation in its discretion for general purposes.”
Restricted Gifts
You may instead designate a specific purpose for your bequest (a “restricted bequest”). For example, a gift may be earmarked for entrepreneur or angel investor education.
“I, [Name], of [City, State, ZIP], give to the Angel Investor Foundation, located in Overland Park, KS the sum of $________ [or property described herein] [or _______ percent (___%) of the rest of my estate] to be used by the Angel Investor Foundation for the following purpose:_____________________.

NOTE: If you are interested in supporting a particular program area with your estate gift, the AIF board and staff would welcome the opportunity to discuss how such a gift can best align with the Foundation’s mission and be certain your wishes can be carried out in the future.
