Peace of Mind for Your Future: It’s Make-A-Will Month!

July 31, 2026

Just like the Amazon’s canopy depends on careful structure to hold up an entire ecosystem, our personal lives depend on careful structure, foresight, and protection to thrive. This August marks National Make-A-Will Month, a nationwide effort to help adults take one of the most important, and most often postponed, steps in planning for the future.

What is National Make-A-Will Month? 

It’s easy to put off writing a will. Many people assume it’s expensive, complicated, or something to deal with “someday.” But having a plan in place is one of the simplest ways to protect your family, your assets, and your peace of mind. It ensures your wishes are honored, removes uncertainty and unnecessary stress for the people you love, and puts you firmly in control of your future choices.

To support our community of conservationists, Amazon Conservation partners with FreeWill. This user-friendly platform guides you step by step through the process of writing a will in just 20 minutes, completely free. Whether you are looking to protect your loved ones, organize your assets, or simply check a major item off your summer to-do list, we invite you to claim your peace of mind today. 

Take the next step in securing your family’s future today.

A will is also a chance to think about the causes that matter most to you. Every gift, today or planned for the future, helps us protect more of the Amazon’s forests and the communities who call them home.

Whether you’re protecting your loved ones, organizing your affairs, or simply checking a meaningful item off your summer to-do list, we invite you to take 20 minutes today and secure that peace of mind.
