Planning Today, Impacting Tomorrow: Estate Planning Awareness Week

Many people think of estate planning as something for “later” or only for the wealthy. The truth is, estate planning is for everyone. It’s a way to ensure your wishes are honored, your loved ones are cared for, and your values live on.

At the Henry County Community Foundation, we often see the incredible impact of thoughtful planning. When community members include the Foundation in their estate plans, they’re not only providing for their family — they’re also creating a lasting legacy that benefits neighbors, nonprofits, and future generations.

National Estate Planning Awareness Week (October 20–26) is the perfect reminder to take that important step. Whether it’s updating your will, reviewing your beneficiaries, or considering how your legacy can support the causes you love, planning today provides peace of mind for tomorrow.

Thanks to generous donors who have included the Foundation in their plans, nonprofits have grown stronger, countless students have received scholarships, and community needs have been met for decades. Your foresight can do the same.
