Legacy Society
Leave a mark on your community
Our Legacy Society recognizes those who have made a planned gift to the Community Foundation. They are a group of forward-thinking people committed to creating a vibrant, thriving community.
Becoming a Legacy Society member is simple. Just do one of the following:
- Let us know you've included the Community Foundation in your estate plan through your will or trust.
- Create a Legacy Fund at the Community Foundation.
- Or make a contribution via a charitable gift annuity, life insurance, retirement fund assets, or a charitable remainder or lead trust.
As beneficiary of your deferred gift, the Community Foundation is charged with the trust and responsibility of carrying out your wishes, forever. We have a permanent commitment to understanding and addressing community needs as they evolve.
Your gift helps us achieve that.
You are welcome to remain anonymous in your giving. However, participation in the Legacy Society can be an inspirational experience and may motivate others.
