Leave a Legacy of Welcome
A gift in your will or estate plan is a powerful way to create lasting change for immigrant and refugee families seeking safety, stability, and a new beginning.
With a legacy gift to CIRA, you help ensure that future generations have access to trusted legal representation, education, and the support they need to build their lives in Nebraska and southwest Iowa.
Create Your Will – For Free
We’ve partnered with FreeWill to make it easy to create your will or trust, at no cost to you. This secure, online tool guides you through the process in about 20 minutes, helping you plan for the people and causes you care about most.
You can use this resource on its own, or to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
Plan Your Beneficiaries
Another simple way to make a lasting impact is by naming CIRA as a beneficiary of a non-probate asset.
These gifts are made outside of your will and can include:
– Retirement accounts (IRA, 401(k))
– Life insurance policies
– Bank or brokerage accounts
FreeWill also offers a free tool to help you organize and designate your beneficiaries – making it easy to align your financial plans with your values.
Already Included CIRA in Your Plans?
If you’ve already included CIRA in your will, trust, or as a beneficiary, we would be honored to know. Sharing your plans allows us to thank you and recognize your generosity, while helping us plan for the future.
Why Legacy Giving Matters
Legacy gifts help sustain CIRA’s work for years to come, ensuring that families continue to receive the legal representation, resources, and support they need to live free from fear and reach their potential.
It’s a way to extend your values beyond your lifetime and be part of someone’s story of safety, opportunity, and belonging.
