Consider including Habitat for Humanity in your estate plans to make a lasting legacy to the City of Omaha and families who want to build better lives for themselves and their children. You can continue your support for Habitat for Humanity of Omaha in your will by choosing to give:

· A percentage of your estate

· A specific amount

· Specific property, such as stocks, bonds or real estate

· Part or all of the residual of your estate - whatever is left after all beneficiaries have received their bequests

· A combination gift arrangement, such as a certain percentage plus the residual

You may find that you can make a larger gift than you ever thought possible by giving "what's left" in your retirement account, pension plan, or other retirement planning vehicle. This allows you to provide for your family first, then charitable interests.

Many people have life insurance policies that they originally took out to protect mortgages that have since been paid or educational plans that have been completed. Such unneeded policies make excellent charitable gifts. Alternatively, you may decide to assure a large gift by purchasing a new insurance policy. If you name Habitat for Humanity of Omaha as the irrevocable owner and beneficiary, the premiums are tax deductible.

Talk with your financial advisor, attorney, or accountant to consider the best option for you.

If you have questions or would like to make known your charitable intentions, please e-mail Carla Patton (cpatton@omahahabitat.org) or call 402-457-5657 Ext.103.
