Building Your Legacy
Planned gifts are a wonderful way to carry on your legacy and commitment to Casa de Esperanza and our mission to break the cycle of child abuse and neglect. When you notify us of your planned gift, you become a member of the Mary Nicholas Legacy Society, a way for Casa to recognize donors now for their commitment to making a future gift, though the greatest benefit is knowing you’re keeping children safe and stabilizing families for generations to come.

“Casa is a beneficiary of our estate planning because it is important to us to leave our money to organizations that fit our value system and that we have supported financially over time.” - Betty & Jim Why is it called the Mary Nicholas Legacy Society?
Mary Nicholas had a love for children and a dream that she could one day help children in need. In 1990, “Miss Mary” generously donated land to Casa de Esperanza. With the opening of the Casa de Esperanza Neighborhood in 2008, her dream is now a reality. Miss Mary’s love for children will continue as future generations of children heal, flourish, and grow on this beautiful land.
The Mary Nicholas Legacy Society unites and honors visionary individuals who choose to invest in the future of Houston’s children with a planned gift benefiting Casa de Esperanza. When you make a legacy gift, you contribute to our long-term financial security and stability.

Legacy gifts may include:
- Bequest (Wills)
- IRA/Retirement Account Beneficiary
- Life Insurance Policy Beneficiary
In addition to making a lasting impact on the future of Houston’s children, your legacy gift may have potential tax benefits, both immediate and for your estate.
