Planned Giving

Leave a Lasting Legacy

By including Habitat for Humanity of Omaha in your estate plans, you create a lasting legacy that will support families and their access to affordable housing for years to come.

What is Planned Giving?

Planned giving is simple! You can support affordable housing for hard-working families in our area by adding just one sentence to your existing will or adding Habitat for Humanity of Omaha on a beneficiary form. It costs you nothing now, and it can make a life-changing difference for families in the future. 

Whether you plan on giving now or create a legacy, or do both, we can help you create a charitable plan that meets your financial and philanthropic goals. 

PLANNED GIVING IS EASY!

What will your legacy be?

Imagine the relief a parent feels knowing their new Habitat home means their children won’t have to move and start over again.

Help Build a Better Future Through Planned Giving

Create a Lasting Legacy

By including Habitat Omaha in an estate plan or will, you help families achieve stability through homeownership, ensuring your values live on in the communities you care about. 

Maximize Tax Benefits

Planned giving can reduce the taxable portion of your estate, potentially lowering the estate taxes your heirs might have to pay. This means that more of your hard-earned assets can be directed towards causes you care about, rather than going to taxes. By planning ahead, donors can maximize their contributions’ impact while also benefiting from tax savings.

Enjoy Flexibility and Peace of Mind

Planned giving provides a flexible and thoughtful way to support Habitat Omaha. Whether through bequests, charitable remainder trusts, or beneficiary designations on retirement accounts or life insurance policies, there are numerous ways to structure your gift to align with your personal financial situation and philanthropic goals. This flexibility ensures that donors can make a meaningful contribution without compromising their current financial security. Your legacy could help build homes and communities. 

Habitat Omaha can help!

Habitat Omaha invests in FreeWill to support our community in making a positive impact on the next generation. So far, over one million people have trusted FreeWill to help them create a will and protect all they love at no cost.
