Leaving a Legacy with Habitat for Humanity Winnipeg
Planned giving is a great way for individuals to remember and help their favourite charities while still protecting their family’s financial
future. There are many ways to |
 |
| leave a legacy through gifts of cash, property, securities, and more. These donations are legacy gifts, in that they will live on forever. |
Future Habitat homeowners will benefit from the generosity of planned gift donors who leave a portion or all of their estate to Habitat for Humanity Winnipeg. Your gift will help us build more safe, decent, and affordable housing for low-income working families in our community.
The benefits of planned giving are immediate and far-reaching! Did you know that only 30% of Canadians have a will? Make it your goal to prepare a will soon, and don’t forget to leave a legacy.
Please contact Kim Wilson at kwilson@habitat.mb.ca or (204) 233-5160, Ext. 215 for more information on you can leave a legacy for future Habitat families.
