Everlasting Impact: The Power of Wills in Philanthropy

A legacy isn’t just about what we leave behind—it’s about the lives we touch along the way. Yet, with only 34% of Americans having a will, too many families and causes are left unprotected. On this episode of Raise Nation Radio, host Dawn Lego welcomes Stacey Miller, founder of the US Will Registry, to discuss how nonprofits can turn estate planning into an opportunity for impact. Through the Planned Legacy Program organizations can offer donors free will services, removing barriers and opening doors to deeper, more meaningful giving. Tune in to discover how planned giving fuels sustainability, strengthens donor relationships, and ensures that every mission—and every legacy—lives on.

“A will isn’t just about assets—it’s about values, impact, and the legacy we leave behind. Nonprofits have the power to help donors secure their future while shaping the future of their mission.” — Stacey Miller
