Make A Will
A will is an essential legal document that outlines your wishes regarding your property and asset distribution upon your passing. Without a will, your estate goes to the state for processing. Any assets you have to pass to your heirs could get tied up in a lengthy, impersonal process, making life harder for your family. One of the best ways to be a good steward of the resources entrusted to you is to have an up-to-date will.
Through our partnership with GiftWise, you now have access to an online platform where you can quickly and easily make a legally binding will. If you wish, you can even designate an estate gift to Assure Women’s Center – or any other nonprofit organization you choose. It is 100% free to you, and many people finish in 20 minutes or less.
In just a few minutes, you can:
- Create a will
- Leave a gift of any size to Assure
- Assure a meaningful legacy for your family
The greatest of gifts live on forever
Bequests are for everyday people.It’s a common misconception that only wealthy people leave money to charitable organizations when they die. Bequests in wills are not just for the rich and famous or the elderly. The reality is that most bequests are made by ordinary, hardworking people who want to continue to make a positive difference in the lives of others after they’re gone.
Keep on supporting
The simple fact is that without the generosity of normal, everyday people, Assure wouldn’t even exist. Bequests are absolutely essential to ensure the life-saving work we do continues into the future. The good news is that including Assure in your will is just as easy as providing for your loved ones. And, it can be as much or as little as you want.
Be the difference
You don’t have to be rich or famous to make a difference. Whoever you are, whatever your situation, you can help save the lives of unborn babies and continue the work to eradicate abortion in our community and nation by including Assure in your will.
Motivations
Understanding why you want to leave a bequest might help you decide what kind of gift you want to make and how you want your gift to be used by Assure.
Bless others
A bequest to Assure in your will is a way to continue transmitting your love and compassion to at-risk moms and their unborn babies after you are gone.
Receive a blessing
“It is more blessed to give than receive” (Acts 20:35). The giver happier than the getter? Surely some mistake? That goes against all our intuitions and instincts. An article by David Murray shares ten reasons why it is more blessed to give than to receive. We gain so much happiness when we see how God is glorified in our giving and when we see Him bless others through our giving.
Leave a legacy
Including Assure in your will is a way to bring dignity, meaning and purpose to a life well lived. It is an opportunity to continue to support Assure or to start supporting Assure if you weren’t able to provide support in your lifetime. It also communicates your values, beliefs and ethics to your family and loved ones.
Store up treasure in heaven
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6: 19-21) You are going to enjoy forever what you invest in Heaven, and you invest in Heaven every time you use money for good.
Give back
Perhaps you were blessed by Assure, but you’ve been unable to give back as generously as you would like. A bequest in your will is a great way to ensure Assure’s vital work carries on to support another person in their time of need.
For the future
A bequest in your will can contribute to the future sustainability of Assure, ensuring the life-saving work and ideals you value will continue on in the future.
Improvement and change
Another reason for leaving a bequest to Assure is to improve our world and community with the resources you leave behind. Your bequest could be the seed for remarkable change.
Multiply your gift
You can multiply your gift and introduce the people you love to the ministry you love by stipulating in your will that you would like memorials in your name to be directed to Assure.
