Legacy giving is one of the most powerful ways to ensure that we continue building homes, communities, and hope for years to come.
What is legacy giving?
Legacy giving – a gift in your will – is a way to create lasting impact by including Habitat in your estate plans. It could be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or even assets like investments, property or insurance. Whatever form it takes, a legacy gift ensures that families you may never meet will have the opportunity to build stability through affordable homeownership.
Why it matters
Legacy giving is about more than generosity — it’s about values. By making us part of your legacy, you’re carrying forward your belief that homeownership should be a right and not a privilege. A national study by Deloitte confirmed the ripple effects of affordable homeownership: individuals and families in Habitat homes report improved health, stronger finances, and brighter educational futures for their children. A legacy gift means more of those stories can continue, generation after generation.
Accessible for everyone
Contrary to common myths, legacy giving isn’t just for seniors or the wealthy. Anyone can make a difference, and every gift matters. It doesn’t take away from caring for your family first — it simply allows you to extend your impact beyond your lifetime.
A gift that keeps building
Legacy gifts provide us with the stability to plan ahead, invest in future builds, and serve more hardworking Albertans who need the opportunity to build their futures. They are a promise that together, we build homes, communities, and hope — today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
