Time to Create Your Legacy
August is National Make a Will Month, the perfect time to review your current will or estate plan or commit to creating one. The Women’s Fund’s WillPower Giving Program offers a unique opportunity to ensure your legacy supports causes you care about, particularly the advancement and well-being of women and girls.
Estate planning isn’t just for those with significant wealth. And you are never too young (or too old) to get started! It’s about ensuring your wishes are fulfilled and that your assets benefit the causes and people you care about. By including a charitable gift in your will or estate plan, you retain control over your assets during your lifetime, while ensuring that a portion will be directed to organizations you care most deeply about.
There are many benefits of including a charitable gift. It may help to reduce estate taxes, allowing you to leave more to your loved ones. The flexibility of being able to update your charitable gifts as your life circumstances and priorities change, ensuring your gift planning is appropriate for you at all stages. And the simplicity, you can designate the Women’s Fund as a beneficiary in various ways, including through life insurance policies, IRAs, or 401(k) plans. This can be done without the need for an attorney.
Create a lasting impact by including the Women’s Fund in your will or estate plan. You’re contributing to a legacy that supports women and girls, fostering their advancement and well-being for generations to come. The Women’s Fund has a proven history of making a positive impact, and your legacy gift will help continue this vital work.
