What is Make-a-Will Month?

Make-A-Will Month, recognized every August, is a national reminder to take an important step in securing your future and protecting your loved ones. It is the perfect opportunity to create or update your will and estate plan, ensuring that your wishes are honored and your legacy lives on.

Whether you are just starting your estate planning journey or reviewing an existing plan, Make-A-Will Month is a chance to reflect on the values that matter most to you and make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

Why Include JEVS in Your Will?

By including JEVS in your will or estate plan, you help build a future where individuals and families can access vital programs such as:

  • Career and technical education

  • Social services that promote independence and economic security

Your planned gift, whether a bequest, charitable gift annuity, or trust, provides long-term support to sustain JEVS’ mission. It is more than a donation; it’s a commitment to changing lives for generations to come.
