You may never sit in the shade of a tree you helped grow, and that’s ok.
A legacy isn't something that begins after we're gone. It's something we build in the present moment, while we are here today, through the choices we make and the seeds we plant.
You may never sit in the shade of every tree you help grow. But because you planted it, that shade will be there for someone else, for decades to come.
That's what a legacy really is: not what we leave behind, but what we've already set in motion.
We won't pretend this is always easy. It can be hard to give your money to something you might never see fully realized in your lifetime. Most of us are used to giving where the results are close and visible: a meal served, a project finished, a thank-you received. Planned giving asks for something different. It asks you to trust in a future you may not witness.
But cross-cultural exchange has always worked this way. A friendship between two students, one in Colorado and one in Uganda, can shape how they see the world for the rest of their lives. A teacher who travels, listens, and returns home changes a classroom, and that classroom changes the students who walk through it years later. The impact grows quietly, long after the gift is made.
Giving toward that kind of future is an act of faith, an act of love, and an investment in our shared humanity.
Introducing Mwebaza's Planned Giving Suite
That's why we're excited to introduce Mwebaza's new Planned Giving Suite, powered by FreeWill: three simple, free ways to make sure the cross-cultural exchange between Colorado and Uganda keeps growing for generations to come.
Write Mwebaza Into Your Will
A gift in your will or trust costs nothing today but sustains this work for generations. You can leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or whatever remains after your loved ones are provided for. However you choose to give, your gift keeps students and communities on both continents learning from one another.
Start your free will today and root your legacy in connection, fairness, and a more equitable world.
Name Mwebaza as a Beneficiary
Naming Mwebaza as a beneficiary on a retirement account, life insurance policy, or bank account takes just a few minutes through our FreeWill partnership. It comes at no cost to you, and it doesn't require any changes to your will. You keep full control of your assets during your lifetime.
Think of it as a quiet vote for hope: a way of saying that the friendships and understanding built between Colorado and Uganda are worth carrying forward.
Tell Us About Your Intended Gift
Already included Mwebaza in your plans? Thank you! We're honored to be part of your legacy.
Letting us know helps ensure your gift is used exactly as you intend, and it gives us the chance to thank you personally. And don't worry: telling us now doesn't lock you in. You can always change your plans later.
Plant the Seed Today
You may not sit in the shade of every tree. But someone will, and they'll be grateful you planted it.
