Your Charitable Estate Plans
With thoughtful planning, you may actually maximize your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to your community. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with various gift options by exploring How to Give and What to Give. Then compare gift options and/or calculate how these gifts could work for you. And of course, please contact us for assistance or to discuss your personal goals.

Gifts That Pay Income
A popular gift option is the charitable gift annuity. You simply make a gift to The Community Foundation and in exchange receive a fixed annual dollar amount—for life.
