Your planned gift helps San Diegans become successful homeowners.
Anyone can make a planned gift, leave a legacy, and provide enduring support to Habitat’s work.
A planned gift is a philanthropic gift from your will, living trust, retirement plan, or other estate assets. A legacy gift can allow you to maintain assets during your lifetime and often provide tax advantages for you and your loved ones — some options can provide you with immediate income.
Bequests
With a simple statement in your will or trust, you can make a gift to ensure that San Diego Habitat can continue to partner with families on affordable homeownership solutions.
- Residual bequest
A percentage of the remainder of your estate after other specific legacies have been fulfilled. - Specific bequest
A specific dollar amount, stated fraction of your estate, or specified gift-in-kind such as collections, art, books, jewelry, etc. Contingent bequest
A gift that is originally intended for other beneficiaries but, in the event of their prior passing, is redirected as a charitable donation.
