LIVE OAK LEGACY GIVING SOCIETY

Protect what matters. Power what comes next.

The future of equality in Texas will be shaped by the people willing to invest in this work intentionally, strategically, and for the long haul.

Live Oak Legacy Society members are helping make sure that future is protected.

A Different Kind of Commitment

You may already support Equality Texas through an annual gift.

That support is critical—it fuels the work happening right now.

But what if your impact didn’t have to reset every year?

What if it could be protected, sustained, and even grown over time?

That’s what legacy giving makes possible.

And for those who choose to take that step, it means becoming part of something lasting:

From Annual Support to Lasting Impact

Legacy giving isn’t just about the future—it’s about stability.

It’s a way to take the support you’re already giving and extend it forward:

So your impact continues year after year

So it isn’t dependent on shifting funding climates

So Equality Texas can plan, respond, and lead with confidence

Many supporters choose to structure their legacy gifts so they can be invested, helping build a long-term fund that generates support annually.

In other words: Your gift doesn’t just continue. It becomes part of something that sustains the work itself.

Think Bigger Than The Moment

You’ve already made the decision to show up.

This is about asking the next question:

What would it look like to protect this work long-term?

What would it take for my support to keep showing up every year?

How can I turn what I give now into something that lasts?

For many donors, that means creating a legacy gift that can:

Replace their annual gift over time

Grow through long-term investment

Provide a steady, reliable source of funding

Because the reality is: movements don’t just need momentum.

They need staying power.

What Others Are Doing

You’re not alone in thinking this way.

Many Equality Texas supporters—now part of the Live Oak Society—have taken this step in simple, thoughtful ways that build long-term impact without changing their day-to-day giving.

“I started by including Equality Texas as a small percentage in my will just to make sure I was part of protecting this work long-term.”

“I give monthly, and I want that support to continue no matter what. Joining the Live Oak Society felt like a natural extension of what I’m already doing.”

“I didn’t want to overcomplicate it. I named Equality Texas as a beneficiary on one account, and it took less than 10 minutes.”

“For me, it’s about stability. I’ve seen how quickly funding can shift. This is my way of helping make sure the work doesn’t.”

“I’m not making a huge commitment right now, but I wanted to start somewhere. Being part of the Live Oak Society felt like a meaningful first step.”

There’s no single “right” way to do this.

Most people start small. Most people start simple.

They just start and become part of something that lasts.

Flexible Options Built Around You

There are many ways to make a legacy commitment, and they can be as simple or as customized as you want:

A percentage or set amount designated in your will or trust

Naming Equality Texas as a beneficiary of a retirement account

Including Equality Texas in a donor-advised fund plan

Structuring a future gift that contributes to long-term sustainability

Any of these options can qualify you for the Live Oak Society.

You don’t have to figure it all out today.

You just have to start thinking about what kind of future you want to help secure.
