Leave your legacy through Planned Giving
Help bring hope to future generations of families in need
 
There are almost as many variations on ways to make a donation as there are needs to be met. This series explores new ways to make a gift that also takes into consideration your personal circumstances and the needs of your heirs. We encourage you to contact your financial advisor or attorney to see which planned giving path is right for you.
BEQUESTS
 
Include Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity in your will. Known as a bequest, this is a simple way to protect your loved ones first and then give back. Help others and Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity by using one of the simplest and most popular ways to make a gift. We hope you’ll consider including a gift to Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity in your will or living trust.
 
A charitable bequest gift offers these main benefits:
 
  • Simplicity – Just a few sentences in your will or trust are all that is needed.
  • Flexibility – Because you are not actually making a gift until after your lifetime and we understand your circumstances may change, you can change your gift at any time.
  • Versatility – You can structure the bequest to leave a specific item or amount of money, make the gift contingent on certain events, or leave a percentage of your estate to Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity.
  • Tax Relief – If your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift is entitled to an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift’s full value. Please check with your attorney or financial advisor for complete tax relief information.
