A residuary gift, also known as a share of your estate, is a percentage of your estate that you may wish to leave to a charity of your choice, after taking care of your loved ones.

Pecuniary gift

A pecuniary gift is a sum of money you might wish to include in your will, to a charity of your choice.

A specific gift
