Join the Ashe-Hocking Legacy Society

LEAVE A LEGACY OF SAFE WATER

What is the legacy you’d like to leave behind?

At Water for Good, we’re working every day to end the water crisis—not just for today, but for generations to come. The Ashe-Hocking Legacy Society honors the visionary partners who choose to include Water for Good in their will, trust, or estate plans, helping
bring to life a vision of a world where every child experiences safe water, a healthy community, and God’s love.

What Is the Ashe-Hocking Legacy Society?

Named in honor of our founders, William (Bill) Ashe and Jim Hocking, the Ashe-Hocking Legacy Society is a community of supporters who have chosen to include Water for Good in their will, trust, or estate plans.

A legacy gift is more than a donation—it’s a declaration that safe water, sanitation, and hygiene should be a permanent reality, not a temporary project. Your gift ensures that wells keep flowing, communities stay resilient, and future generations thrive long
after today.

Membership Highlights

As a member of the Society, you’re a long-term partner in this mission. You’ll receive:

Inside Access

Quarterly Heart of the Mission calls with direct updates from our leadership and field staff, plus an annual Founder’s Fireside Chat—a virtual gathering with our founders and founding family members.

Special Recognition

A Certificate of Membership and a handcrafted piece of art from one of our project areas, given as a token of our gratitude.

Donor Wall Recognition

(optional, anonymous listing available) Inclusion on our website donor recognition page and on the physical donor wall at our headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Ways to Give

Legacy gifts are flexible and can be tailored to fit your goals and circumstances. Common ways to join the Society include:

  • 1
    A bequest in your will or trust
  • 2
    Naming Water for Good as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or donor-advised fund
  • 3
    Gifts of appreciated assets, stock, or real estate to make an enduring contribution while potentially reducing tax burdens
  • 4
    Other planned giving vehicles designed around your unique plans

No matter the size or timing of your gift, including Water for Good in your legacy helps ensure that reliable safe water, improved sanitation, and hygiene education remain within reach for the communities who need them most.
