INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY POLL

The Community Poll is a proprietary application developed by HeartMath that enables you to assess your overall emotional state on a regular basis and see how you compare to our broader community. This poll asks each user to self- rate on three dimensions: Energy Level, Emotional Climate, and Stress Level. It is highly recommended that you click on "View Details" so you can see the full depth of this application, which includes a mapping system, color graphs and customization options.

We hope that users will look at this application as a means to regularly do an internal check of their emotional state, and, even more importantly, learn how to shift their emotional state into the "Green" or high performance zone. For those who want a more detailed assessment we recommend that you take our Stress and Well Being survey, which includes a more comprehensive set of questions and scoring system along with recommendations on how to improve your scores.

Your data is anonymous and under no circumstances will this data be shared in reference to a specific identity. The Institute of HeartMath--our non-profit research organization--will use the data for scientific purposes only. Thank you for your contribution to this project and we hope you find it rewarding and useful.

Bequest

A gift to the Institute of HeartMath in your will or revocable trust proclaims your confidence that we will continue to pursue our mission and make a difference in the lives of future generations. A bequest is:

easy to arrange,
does not affect your assets or cash flow during your lifetime, and
is revocable.

You may have planned your estate through a revocable trust instead of a will. A transfer to IHM from your trust will bring you the same tax and planning benefits as a bequest from a will.

Your bequest or trust distribution to us will reduce the value of your estate for federal estate tax purposes, and will also be exempt from state inheritance taxes.

You Can Make Your Bequest in Several Ways:

A bequest can deliver a specific dollar amount or asset to IHM, or it can give us a percentage of the balance remaining in your estate after taxes and specific bequests have been paid. It can also be payable if an individual beneficiary is not able to inherit.

Specific Bequest
	"I bequeath Twenty Thousand ($20,000) Dollars [or: all my General Motors stock] to the Institute of HeartMath, a California non-profit corporation located in Boulder Creek, California"
Residuary Bequest
	"I bequeath Ten Percent (10%) of the residue of my estate to the Institute of HeartMath, a California non-profit corporation located in Boulder Creek, California."
Contingent Bequest
	"If my nephew does not survive me or is unable to inherit this bequest, I direct that it be paid to the Institute of HeartMath, a California non-profit corporation located in Boulder Creek, California."

Your Bequest Can Be Used by Us in Two Ways:

A bequest can be directed to a specific program or purpose at IHM, or you can tell us to apply it to our general resources or use it for the need that we believe is most pressing at the time it is received. So that it can be most useful, we prefer that the terms of a bequest be as general as possible, and ask you to consult us if you are considering a bequest for a specific purpose here.
