Imagine the possibilities!
Developing your charitable giving plan is a very personal undertaking. Asking yourself questions such as Where do I see myself today? What problems do I want to solve? What do I want to be remembered for? What goals do I want to achieve? may lead you to discover some new answers or reinforce what you already knew about yourself.
At The Community Foundation, we offer a range of giving solutions that allow you to answer these questions. With the support of our professional staff, you can create the giving plan that:
- Impacts the causes and issues that inspire you.
- Identifies ways to give today and through your estate.
- Incorporates the recommendations of your tax and financial advisors.
- Creates funds that can grow in value and increase the power of your giving.
