August may be wrapping up, but it is still Make-A-Will Month, a time to reflect on how we can protect what matters most through thoughtful planning. Creating or updating a will is one of the most meaningful ways to care for your loved ones, ensure your wishes are honored, and carry your values into the future.

Yet nearly 70% of U.S. adults don’t have a will. We get it – life is busy, and the topic can feel overwhelming. But the process is often simpler than you think, and it brings peace of mind that lasts.

At Orange Habitat, we’re deeply grateful for the members of our Framing the Future Legacy Society, supporters who have chosen to include Habitat in their estate plans. Their generosity helps ensure that more families will have access to safe, affordable housing for generations to come.

We believe legacy giving should be personal and celebrated in a way that honors each donor’s intent. That’s why members of our Framing the Future Legacy Society receive:

• Recognition in our annual report and on our website
• Invitations to home dedications
• A special annual ‘Coffee with the CEO’
• Recognition at signature events
• Two complimentary tickets to our annual Fall House Party

Some members choose to remain anonymous, and we always respect that. But if you’ve already included Orange Habitat in your plans, we’d love the chance to say thank you. And if you’re just starting to explore what legacy giving might look like for you, we’re here to help.
