There Are Many Ways to Make a Planned Gift.

  • Bequest

    Naming the Foundation as a beneficiary allows you to designate a gift of cash, securities, or personal property to be distributed after your lifetime, in any amount or as a percentage of your estate.

  • Gifts of Real Property

    By designating real property as part of your legacy gift, you can leave assets such as a home, land, or other real estate to the Foundation after your lifetime—in any amount or as a percentage of your estate.

  • Charitable Lead Trust

    With a charitable lead trust, you can designate regular payments to the Community Foundation for a defined term, after which the remaining assets are distributed to your beneficiaries.

  • Charitable Remainder Trust

    A charitable remainder trust provides income to you or your beneficiaries for a specified period, after which the remaining assets are transferred to the Community Foundation.

  • Retirement Assets

    By naming the Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement assets, you can gift funds such as an IRA or 401(k) after your lifetime—in any amount or as a percentage of the account.

  • Life Insurance

    Naming the Community Foundation as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy allows you to direct all or part of the policy’s proceeds to support our work after your lifetime.
