Your Legacy as an Advocate for Workers’ Rights

The Institute has a bold vision of the future, one in which all workers are treated with dignity and respect; workplaces are equitable, diverse, and inclusive; and the well-being of workers is a priority in business practices. We work every day to advance workers’ rights today, and we are prepared to continue the fight for equality and justice in the American workplace until our vision is realized.

Providing for the Institute in your estate plans is a thoughtful, visionary way to extend your commitment to workers’ rights to future generations. You can create a meaningful personal legacy to sustain and build our community of workers’ rights advocates and fuel the pursuit of justice for all workers for years to come. Consider building your legacy as an advocate for workers’ rights through a bequest in your will or trustee or by designating the Institute as a beneficiary in your retirement plan or life insurance policy.

Build Your Legacy with Us

To help you get started on your plans and legacy, we have partnered with FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in as little as 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Start using FreeWill

Have you already included a gift to the Institute in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know. We would like to thank you for your generosity and would be honored to include you in the Legacy Circle to Advance Workers’ Rights.

Non-Probate Assets

Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will?  For these non-probate assets, you must plan your beneficiaries separately. You can use this online tool to make or review your plans and designate the Institute as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
