Planned Giving

Build a Legacy of Hope with a Planned Gift

Your legacy can change lives. By making a planned gift to Lake-McHenry Habitat for Humanity, you ensure that families in our community have a safe, stable place to call home—now and for generations to come.

Including Habitat in your estate plans is a powerful way to leave a lasting impact. Whether through a bequest in your will, a gift of stock, or a beneficiary designation, your generosity will continue building strength, stability, and self-reliance for future homeowners.

A planned gift is more than a donation—it’s a promise. A promise that hardworking families will have the opportunity to achieve homeownership. A promise that children will grow up in safe, affordable homes. A promise that your values will live on through the lives you touch.

We encourage you to speak with your financial planner or estate advisor about the best way to incorporate charitable giving into your long-term plans. They can help you explore options that align with your financial goals while making a meaningful impact on local families.

If you would like to learn more about creating legacy of home and hope, we’d love to talk about the impact your gift could have for generations to come. Contact us today to learn how you can make an enduring difference.
