Havens Legacy Society

Are you ready to leave a legacy that will change someone's life?

You care about New York City's struggling families and relieving the stresses of poverty. You know that one person can make a significant difference in someone else's life. You want to make that difference.

A bequest is a simple way for anyone — of whatever means — to make a lasting contribution to the future of New York City and poverty relief.

Let us know that you have included The Havens Relief Fund Society in your planned giving, and we will welcome you to the Havens Legacy Society, where you will be in the company of other like-minded people committed to the future of our City.

The Havens Legacy Society honors and recognizes donors who help continue our work through a planned gift.

The best thing to do is to give us a call so we can discuss legacy gift options that are right for you. Please contact:

Thank you for your generous support!

Here is some information that might be useful as you make your plans.

A Specific Bequest

May be a fixed amount or specific property, securities or real estate.

A Residuary Bequest

May provide Havens with a portion of any assets that remain after other specific legacies have been fulfilled.

A Contingent Bequest

This applies only if your will's primary provisions could not be carried out — if, for example, your named heirs do not survive you.

A bequest may also be made in memory or as a tribute to a loved one. Simply designate your bequest as fund named in memory of the person you wish to honor.
