August is National Make-A-Will Month, a timely reminder to reflect on what matters most and how you want to be remembered. For many, that includes taking the important step of creating or updating a will—and considering how to leave a lasting legacy for the communities and causes they care about.
At the Ashokan Center, planned giving plays a vital role in sustaining our mission. As a small nonprofit, legacy gifts allow us to grow and protect what we offer—music, nature, hands-on learning, and intergenerational connection—for years to come.
This August, we’re launching our Grow the Future campaign in honor of Make-A-Will Month. We’re inviting our community to:
-
Create or update your will
-
Consider including a legacy gift to Ashokan
-
Let us know if we’re already in your plans
These simple steps ensure your values live on and that the Ashokan Center continues to inspire and nurture generations to come.
Through your foresight, we can build a stronger tomorrow—one rooted in the kindness, creativity, and stewardship you helped cultivate today.
