Naming the League in Your Will

Naming the League of Women Voters of New Jersey as a beneficiary in your will costs nothing today and allows you to make a deep and meaningful impact for years to come. A legacy gift—no matter the size—helps to ensure that future generations will continue to have access to trusted voter information, nonpartisan advocacy, and a strong voice defending the freedom to vote.
