Your Will Can Be a Document That Changes a Life

 

You can be a friend of domestic violence survivors forever, by making a gift in your will and joining the Millie May Legacy Circle.

 

Everyone wants to have a life with meaning. Leaving a gift in your will to Helping Hands Against Violence is a once in a life time opportunity, a way to live on. Even after you’re gone, those who struggle to recover from domestic violence will have a place to turn for help. Because of your generosity.

 

A gift in your will could be the most important charitable gift you’ll ever make.

​

Benefits of a Gift in Your Will

• Your gift costs you nothing during your lifetime.

• You can change your mind anytime.

• Your gift can remain anonymous if you like.

• Your gift may provide tax savings.

• You can leave a gift in honor or memory of someone who inspires you.

• You will always be remembered as someone whose legacy was empathy and care for survivors of domestic violence.

 

Many of our supporters leave Helping Hands a gift in their wills so they can give survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault safety, shelter, and hope for years to come.

 

You can, too.

 

Here's How it Works:

• You designate a particular asset or a percentage of your estate to Helping Hands in your will. An attorney can help you do this while creating or changing your will.

• Your gift comes to Helping Hands after your lifetime. Unrestricted gifts are used to support top priorities for survivors of domestic violence.

• If you wish to restrict or designate your gift, call us to make sure your gift is used exactly as you wish.

• You can name Helping Hands Against Violence in your will using this description: "Helping Hands Against Violence, a nonprofit corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the State of Oregon, tax ID 93-0756833, business address PO Box 441, Hood River, Oregon, 97031."
