What is Planned Giving?
Planned giving—sometimes called legacy giving—refers to a charitable donation that is arranged in advance and typically made as part of an individual’s overall financial and estate planning. It allows individuals to support their favorite charitable organizations in a way that fits their financial goals and long-term plans.
Planned giving is a giving option for anyone who wants to build a legacy, regardless of their age or income. Planned gifts provide the resources that create extraordinary opportunities for Habitat for Humanity of Wake County’s work in the community now and into the future.
Naming Habitat Wake as a beneficiary in an IRA, life insurance policy, other financial accounts, or in your will is one simple way that you can provide for Habitat Wakes' future stability and growth.
