Planned giving is for everyone

Make a free will and testament and support Define American in the process.

Many Define American supporters choose to leave a donation in their wills and trusts as an important way to have long-term impact, without any upfront cost during their lifetimes.

Making a will is one of the most impactful ways to extend your love and generosity for your family and friends. It can also help change the way American immigrants are represented in the media.

By leaving a gift to Define American in your will or trust, you are building a powerful legacy of advocacy.

Legacy giving isn’t only for the wealthy – gifts of any size are deeply appreciated, and there is a wide range in gift sizes from $50 to $1 million.
