August is Make-a-Will Month, a national observance to encourage everyone to make a will to protect the people and causes that matter most to them. Making a will makes an impact for loved ones, a legacy for the future, and can leave your compassion in action for years to come.

By documenting your wishes in a will, you can protect the individuals in your life, plan for your assets, and include optional gifts to help organizations like Homeward Bound of Marin keep making a difference in your community.

We’ve partnered with FreeWill to offer secure online resources that can help you create your will within 20 minutes for free! These resources are available to anyone, without obligation to include a charitable gift. Try their simple tools to start your free will today.

Homeward Bound of Marin has the highest rating from Charity Navigator and a Platinum Seal from Candid (formerly GuideStar). If you choose to include Homeward Bound, you can feel confident that your gift will be used effectively to provide solutions for Marin families and individuals working their way from crisis to resilience and health.
