It fits that Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity (TCHFH) donor Virginia Kivits was born on Valentine’s Day in 1913. She always had a big heart – and a good plan. When Virginia passed away in March she left behind a legacy that will benefit Twin Cities families for years to come.
Virginia gave her life to educating others. She graduated from Washburn High School in Minneapolis and earned a BS and a Masters from the University of Minnesota. Virginia taught high school in small towns throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin before returning to the U of M as a professor. She taught there for more than 30 years and was named Professor Emerita after retiring in 1978.
Virginia was always a committed donor to TCHFH, providing modest yet important gifts year after year. It was only after her death, that TCHFH found out it’d been included in Virginia’s trust. TCHFH will receive monthly annuity payments over the next 10 years that’ll add up to approximately $200,000. These funds will be instrumental in helping us serve even more families.
