Building a legacy
Open new doors through legacy giving.
Anyone can make a planned gift, leave a legacy, and provide enduring support to Habitat’s work.
Planned gifts allow generous partners like you to make meaningful gifts you may have never thought possible. Your gifts to Habitat enable us to help families build strength, stability, and independence by building a safe and secure place to call home.
What is planned giving?
A planned gift is a philanthropic gift from your will, living trust, retirement plan, or other estate assets. A legacy gift can allow you to maintain assets during your lifetime and often provide tax advantages for you and your loved ones.

Donate Land
A charitable gift of a building site ensures generational security, providing a family safe and decent shelter for many years to come.
Land is currently one of our greatest needs. Our financial resources to purchase land are limited, so we rely upon gifts of land to assure the affordability of the houses that we build. We encourage the donation of any type of real estate including:
​
-
vacant lots or land
-
homes in need of repair
-
condemned sites that must be razed
-
commercial lots
-
retail properties
-
warehousing properties
