“I, [your name], give, devise, and bequeath to League of Illinois Bicyclists (dba Ride Illinois) with EIN 36-3823236, the amount of $XX [or, XX% of the residue of my estate], for its unrestricted use and purpose. The Executive Director has the authority to accept these gifts. All other gifts shall be reviewed by the Finance Committee before acceptance.”
