Your Legacy—Their Future
With you by our side, House of Ruth can focus on what matters most: providing women and families with the housing and services they need to heal from domestic violence and houselessness.
With planned giving, you can achieve your financial goals and build upon your legacy—all while ensuring our doors remain open to the most vulnerable.
Planned giving is simply the process of planning a donation ahead of time. Oftentimes, planned giving is part of your estate plan, where monetary or asset donations are made after you pass.
