"I wish I could do more..."
What if we said, “You can do something extraordinary”?
As part of our Legacy Society, a planned gift that you designate in your will or trust can ensure families have the security of owning a home for generations to come.
A common misconception is that planned giving is only for the wealthy. The truth is, people just like you can make a big difference. A planned gift is typically made from assets in your estate rather than disposable income, and comes to fruition after your lifetime. It can be simple and low-cost to you right now. The most common way to leave a planned gift is in your will.
By letting us know your intentions to make a planned gift, you become a member of Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity’s Legacy Society. If you’ve already done this, please let us know, so we may thank and recognize you!
For more information contact Donor Relations Manager Kelly Schlicht at 414-316-5611 or kschlicht@milwaukeehabitat.org.
