Simply include Lambda Legal in your estate plans as a beneficiary of your will, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy, or another planned giving vehicle. Supporters with existing plans can also participate as long as the gift amount has not been previously disclosed.
Complete Lambda Legal’s confidential and non-legally binding Legacy Challenge Form. Your legacy intention will be matched immediately with a cash grant equal to 10% of your gift with a maximum grant of $100,000 impacting Lambda Legal’s current work.

Since 2022, nearly 1,900 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced in 50 states. Of those, 219 were enacted as law in 27 states. The Unstoppable Future campaign is Lambda Legal’s boldest effort yet:
Supporters who have designated Lambda Legal as a beneficiary within their will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy, can qualify their future bequest for the Legacy Challenge. Both revocable and irrevocable bequests are eligible.
For bequests based on percentages, we ask that you use your best good-faith estimate of the value of your future bequest based on the approximate value of your current assets.
The Legacy Challenge will be running until the pool of available match funds is exhausted.
Yes! Supporters who include Lambda Legal as a contingent beneficiary are encouraged to qualify their bequest for the Legacy Challenge match.
Yes! While Lambda Legal does not offer direct estate or financial planning services, we are connected with a broad network of professionals experienced in serving LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Contact us to get connected with a trusted legal or financial planning expert who can assist in crafting a plan to protect both your loved ones and community.
We completely understand that plans may change over time. The Legacy Challenge form is not legally binding and is completely confidential.
Yes! Lambda Legal is proud to have recently concluded the largest comprehensive campaign in the LGBTQ+ community’s history. The Legacy Challenge is an extension of that momentum, seeking to raise $400M in legacy commitments to ensure Lambda Legal is not only prepared for the critical moment of today, but also promising to safeguard our rights and protections well into the future.
Thank you to everyone who has committed a Legacy Gift through the Unstoppable Future Legacy Challenge to safeguarding our present while fighting for a better future. (As of 3/20/26)
