Legacy Giving

Ensure Your Values Continue to Make a Difference

Every family deserves the opportunity to build a stable future, but for many in Saskatchewan, the dream of homeownership is still out of reach. Habitat Saskatchewan changes that by partnering with hardworking families to provide a path to homeownership through affordable mortgage payments.

When you choose to leave a legacy gift to Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan, you become part of that journey. Your generosity helps build safe, affordable homes where families can put down roots, build equity, create lasting stability, and give their children a brighter future.

Together, we can ensure your legacy continues to strengthen families and communities for generations to come.

What is Legacy Giving?

Legacy giving, also known as planned giving or gift planning, involves making a charitable contribution as part of your estate planning. It allows you to allocate a portion of your assets, such as cash, securities, real estate, or personal property, to support the causes and organizations you care deeply about. Legacy giving provides you with the opportunity to leave a lasting imprint on the world by supporting causes that align with your values, while also providing potential financial benefits to your estate and heirs.

A gift in your will is one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to create a lasting impact. You can leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate.
