Plan Your Gift

Make your legacy HERS

You have the opportunity to make the Greater La Crosse region a better place for all women and girls, forever.

A personalized planned gift to the Women’s Fund of Greater La Crosse is a great way to make a powerful statement that investing in women and girls is essential to the well-being of your community.

Planned gifts are a conversation, not a transaction. We’d be glad to talk with you and your financial or legal advisor about what makes sense for your goals. No commitment is required to start the conversation.

Should you choose to include the Women’s Fund in your estate plans, please follow these two simple steps.

Step 1:

Share the following information with your financial or legal advisor to include in your will or trust document. This information is also what is needed to name us as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy. You can set a specific amount or percentage, or leave the residual after other goals are met (like inheritance to loved ones). We do not provide legal or tax advice. We encourage you to consult your own advisors when considering a planned gift.

  • Legal Name: Women’s Fund of Greater La Crosse, Inc.
  • Tax ID Number: 27-2394065
  • Suggested Language for will or trust:

“I give, devise, and bequeath to the Women’s Fund of Greater La Crosse, Inc., a nonprofit organization located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Federal Tax ID # 27-2394065, the sum of $______ (or ______% of my estate/trust estate) to be used for its general purposes (or name a specific restriction).”

Step 2:

Let us know of your intentions so we may plan for and recognize your generous contribution according to your unique wishes. Please complete a Statement of Intent form and return it to executive_director@womensfundlacrosse.org. This form is not legally binding.
