August is National Make-A-Will Month, and it’s a pivotal moment to harness the power of your will to ensure the long-term prosperity of people and health of the environment.

At any stage of your adult life, you can make or update your will and include a gift to Watershed Management Group. Regardless of the size of your contribution, here are just a few ways your legacy  will equip people with the knowledge, skills, and resources for sustainable livelihoods, by

  • Honoring the heritage of our flowing desert creeks and rivers and the value that water holds for all people
  • Offering educational services focused on designing and constructing rain gardens with schools, churches, and low-income neighborhoods
  • Providing community classes, grassroots projects, and policy work helping communities cool our cities and conserve our local water resources

We partner with FreeWill to make the will-writing process easy and straightforward. More than one million people across the country have used this tool to create their plans — and you can be next.

We remain optimistic about the future and people’s ability to make positive change, so we hope you choose to make the most of your willpower!
