Legacy Gifts

Your gift to Habitat for Humanity of Dane County helps us build simple, decent, affordable homes, but there is still much work to do – so much that it will take more than a lifetime to accomplish. Please consider making a legacy gift and continue the fight against poverty housing beyond your lifetime.

Planned gifts provide the resources that create new opportunities and preserve Habitat for Humanity of Dane County’s future. These gifts can qualify for significant tax deductions and include bequests, charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts.

Naming Habitat for Humanity of Dane County as a beneficiary in an IRA, life insurance policy, other financial account or in your will is one critical way that you can help provide for future stability and growth. A charitable gift annuity will let you enjoy income and tax benefits now while dedicating yourself to supporting our future work.
