The Drake House began when a group of neighbors saw families in need and decided, together, to build something better. That same spirit of neighbors helping neighbors is what keeps our doors open today. Every gift, at every level, is another neighbor joining our community of support.

GIVE FOR GENERATIONS
Legacy Giving
Leave a Legacy of Stability:
A Gift in Your Will
Some of the most powerful gifts are the ones that outlast us. Leaving a gift in your will to The Drake House is a promise that the stability you helped build for mothers and children today will continue for generations to come.
By including The Drake House in your will, you can help ensure that families navigating housing instability always have a partner walking beside them, toward stability, opportunity, and long-term independence.
Why Consider a Gift in Your Will
A gift in your will lets you make a meaningful impact without affecting your finances today. Whether it’s a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or what remains after providing for loved ones, your gift becomes part of a lasting legacy of hope for families in our community.
This kind of gift is sometimes called a “bequest,” simply another word for a gift made through your will. By including The Drake House this way, you help sustain our mission long into the future, supporting housing, coaching, and the coordinated care that helps families build a future that’s truly their own.
Ways to Give
Specific Amount / Percentage
Designate a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate to The Drake House.
Gift of What Remains
Leave all or a portion of what’s left in your estate after providing for loved ones.
Start a Fund
Establish a named fund that supports our mission for years to come, with earnings sustaining our programs in perpetuity.
Backup Gift
Name The Drake House as a beneficiary in case other heirs are unable to receive your gift.
Update an Existing Will
