Black Women Will Initiatives

Black Women Will is the solution to the silent problem keeping the Black community from building generational wealth .

We impact Black families for generations by creating opportunities for Black women to complete their wills so they can leave a legacy!

Not only do we give Black women peace of mind about their plan after they pass away, but we celebrate them for handling their business while they are living!

Estate Planning Content

We go beyond preaching about the importance of having a will. Our educational content and resources help our community take action immediately and share the information with their loved ones.

BWW Legacy Scholarship

We pay a portion of the recipient’s estate attorney fees and mentor her through the process of completing her will, healthcare directive, and power of attorney.

Who We Are

Black Women Will, is an initiative through the Thank Me Later Foundation, a 501(c)(3) committed to transforming Black families through legacy planning. 

We are a part of the ecosystem of Thank Me Later, Inc., a financial literacy brand that provides the strategies and emotional support that professional Black women need to thrive in life.

Track Our Impact!

We are on a mission to help 100,000 Black women transfer their wealth to the next generation via events, educational content, and scholarships.

That’s an estimated transfer of over $30B in assets, including real estate, bank accounts, investment accounts, and other assets! 

Check out the graph to see how we’re tracking on our Phase I goal of transferring $50M worth of assets.

The Spirit of an HBCU Homecoming

Our theme is HBCU Homecoming because this event is centered in community, connection, and celebration!

We change the energy of legacy planning from morbid to motivational by creating a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone – from the women getting their wills completed, to the attorneys, to our sponsors and partners.

In true Homecoming fashion, attendees are encouraged to come dressed to represent their alma mater, Greek organization, or favorite sports team.

Word On The Street

“We had an amazing time at Black Women Will! It was important for us to have this experience together because as friends, we make sure we stay on top of each other when it comes to growth (personal, professional, financial & spiritual). We are so grateful for the opportunity to complete our will and healthcare directive for free at this event.”

Legacy Scholarship

We know we can’t help everyone complete their will at our signature event, Black Women Will Homecoming.

That’s why we created the Black Women Will Legacy Scholarship!

Through the Black Women Will Legacy Scholarship, we will pay a portion of the recipient’s estate planning attorney fees and support her through the process.

We Are on a mission

Our Why

Over the next 25 years, an estimated $68 trillion will be transferred from U.S. households to heirs and charity. Black Americans are missing out on the largest wealth transfer in history by not having an estate plan.
