Give back to your community and loved ones by designating a gift or portion of your estate to the Community Foundation. Gifts may be made through an estate plan, an IRA or retirement plan, life insurance policy, remainder trust, gift annuity or written into a will. Planned gifts such as a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust provide immediate tax benefits and lifetime income payments to you or another named beneficiary.

The Community Foundation’s Legacy Society recognizes individuals who have made plans to leave such a gift. Legacy Society member Carole Egger shares, “Establishing planned gifts through the Community Foundation gave me peace of mind, knowing that resources I designate to nonprofit agencies will continue to work for our community long into the future.”
