The U.S. Will Registry Launches Planned Legacy Program to Make Giving More Accessible

The U.S. Will Registry announces the launch of The Planned Legacy Program, Inc., a donor-first solution that helps nonprofits implement a fully customizable online will-writing platform - making legacy giving more accessible and impactful.
As a subsidiary of The U.S. Will Registry, The Planned Legacy Program offers nonprofits an affordable way to start or expand planned giving programs, ensuring long-term financial sustainability without requiring extensive resources.
Legacy giving plays a vital role in nonprofit fundraising, yet many organizations struggle to establish planned giving programs due to the complexity of donor outreach and donation options. Planned Legacy removes these barriers, providing nonprofits with a seamless way to create, register, and search for wills.
Key Benefits of the Planned Legacy Program:
- Branded Customization: Nonprofits can integrate their logo, messaging, and pre-set legacy gift options.
- Effortless Implementation: No additional staffing or legal expertise required; integrates easily into websites.
- Ongoing Support & Resources: Includes marketing materials, onboarding assistance, and technical support.
- Security & Compliance: Meets state-specific legal requirements with advanced encryption for donor protection.
- Proven Fundraising Impact: Donors who create wills through nonprofit-sponsored platforms increase lifetime giving by 75%.
"Legacy giving should be an accessible and empowering experience," said Stacey Miller, CEO of The Planned Legacy Program and The U.S. Will Registry. "At Planned Legacy, we simplify the process so organizations can build long-term donor relationships while ensuring supporters safeguard their wishes. This is about creating a lasting impact for donors and the causes they care about."
Planned Legacy transforms legacy giving into an opportunity for engagement and gratitude. Instead of a traditional donation request, it shifts the conversation to a "gift for you" approach—educating donors on will services while ensuring their legacy is honored.
The Planned Legacy Will Platform provides the safest and most secure portal for will registration, giving donors confidence in their planned giving decisions. By creating a natural path for bequests and immediate donations, it turns an often-uncomfortable conversation into a win-win for donors and the missions they support.
