Build a Better Future With a Legacy Gift to YES!
The work to build a more just, compassionate, and sustainable world is ongoing. When you leave a legacy gift to YES!, you help ensure that YES! will be here long into the future, inspiring future generations with tools and solutions that show the way forward.
Regardless of your age or wealth, making a will is important. It:
- Preserves your assets after you’re gone
- Protects your loved ones
- Ensures your wishes are carried out
- Helps you support the causes you care about
Create Your Free Will
YES! has partnered with FreeWill to give you an online tool where you can write a legal will for free in less than 20 minutes.
“I’ve decided to leave money to YES! in my will because YES! is the only publication I know of that, day after day, shows us how we can change this world for the better. I want to be part of that transformation—now and into the future.”
— Yehudit Lieberman, Legacy Circle member
