By supporting new mothers in a meaningful and individualized way, Friends takes a unique approach to empowering mothers to build successful futures for themselves and their children. But we can’t do any of this without you and without your support.

Planned giving allows you to leave a legacy building a brighter future for generations to come.  Make a lasting gift to ensure your passion and commitment to Friends continues for years to come. When you include Friends in your estate plan you support the future of our life-saving work  for mothers and babies.

Additionally, you can create a legacy bequest naming Friends as a beneficiary in your Will and/or Trust. Find example legacy bequest language below.
