19 OAK SOCIETY Making a gift to ATP through your will or living trust is one of the simplest ways to support our work. Bequests are essential to fulfilling ATP’s long term commitment to build a sustainable future while creating jobs and stimulating Armenia’s economy. No matter what your assets may be, making a bequest is an opportunity to provide a greater level of support for ATP than might be possible during your lifetime. Bequest provisions are simple to establish and ensure that your intentions are carried out quickly, with fewer complications for your family and loved ones. Although it is not required, making us aware of your bequest is helpful. By informing us of your wishes, we can recognize you today for your thoughtful generosity and better plan for ATP’s future. The list below recognizes those who have made life income gifts or bequest provisions for ATP:
