Friend,

Americans United has been around for 75 years and we plan to stick around as long as it takes to safeguard the bedrock principle of church-state separation for all Americans. Planning for the future is an important part of an organization's success and we rely on supporters like you to make that happen. As you plan your own future and lasting legacy, I want to highlight a free resource available to you to make your plan.

Next week is National Estate Planning Awareness Week — a great time for our dedicated Americans United community to complete this crucial life task with our partner FreeWill.

A will or revocable trust is an important way to protect what you love on your own terms and set future generations up for success. Yet nearly 67% of adults don’t have an up-to-date plan.

As a recent user shared:

“This is something I have put off for FAR too long.
FreeWill helped me figure it all out and, true to their word, it took me about 20 minutes
with guidance all the way. I cannot recommend it enough.”

You can also build a legacy that protects religious freedom for everyone. A bequest to Americans United in your will costs nothing today but provides long-term support and stability for our fight to protect church-state separation for years to come.

As part of your estate plan, FreeWill can also help you create an Advance Healthcare Directive to specify your healthcare wishes, and a Financial Power of Attorney to designate a person you trust to make decisions about your property and finances — all at no cost.

Please know this resource is 100% free regardless of your decision to include a gift. I hope FreeWill can serve you and your loved ones well.

With gratitude,

Kate Duis
Senior Director of Development
