Leave a Legacy of Freedom

Your Will is more than a legal document – it’s a declaration of your values

The Freedom Rising Legacy Society

The Freedom Rising Legacy Society honors supporters who have made a lasting commitment to liberty through their estate plans.

Inspired by Vice Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, who planted acorns knowing they would one day grow into mighty oaks, members of the Society ensure that Heartland’s mission stands strong for generations to come.

Like Collingwood, you too can plant seeds of freedom that will grow long after your lifetime.

Why Your Will Matters

Only 32% of Americans have a will. Without one, your legacy may be decided by probate courts — not you.

  • Probate can delay inheritances, increase taxes, and put government-appointed officials in charge of your estate.
  • A will protects your family and ensures your values live on.

Your estate plan is one of the most meaningful ways you can declare what you believe in and who you stand with.

Recognition and Benefits

As a member of the Freedom Rising Legacy Society, you will receive:

  • Annual recognition in a Heartland publication
  • A Freedom Rising Legacy Society lapel pin
  • Your name engraved on a plaque displayed at Heartland's headquarters
  • The satisfaction of protecting freedom beyond your lifetime

If you've already included Heartland in your plans, please let us know so we can thank you and welcome you as a Founding Member.

Join the Movement. Leave a Legacy of Freedom.

Your legacy gift will keep the flame of liberty burning bright for future generations.
