We are talking about your opportunity to ensure that, as part of your legacy, families in our community will have the security and hope of owning a home. This can be done through a planned gift.
If you have already included Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region in your estate plan, let us know so you can join our Generations Society.
Letting us know about your plan allows us to make sure your gift will be used in line with your wishes.
Unlike a cash gift, a planned gift is typically made from assets in your estate rather than disposable income and comes to fruition after your lifetime. Planned giving is an option for anyone who wants to leave a legacy regardless of their age and income.
A planned gift can be simple and inexpensive to create, and you can get started today. Examples of planned gifts are:

If you would prefer to work with an attorney to draft your will and you choose to leave us a gift in your will, we suggest the following sample language:
“I give, devise, and bequeath to Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region, a non-profit corporation located at 3815 Latrobe Drive, Charlotte, North Carolina, 28211 ____ % of my estate as an unrestricted gift. (Habitat Charlotte Region Tax ID: 56-1366233)”
