"I give to H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit corporation currently located at 12902 Magnolia Drive, MBC-FOU, Tampa, FL 33612, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose."
To designate your provision for a particular purpose:
"I give to H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit corporation currently located at 12902 Magnolia Drive, MBC-FOU, Tampa, FL 33612, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property]. This gift should be used for (state purpose) if and so long as H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Foundation, Inc. determines that the need exists. If H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Foundation, Inc. shall determine at the outset or at a later time that the need does not exist, or no longer exists or for some reason it is not possible (or prudent) to administer my gift as originally intended, then H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Foundation, Inc. may, in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, direct the use of my bequest for a purpose related as closely as possible to that stated above."
