Planned Giving
Some of the most significant and far-reaching gifts made to
charitable giving are through “Planned Giving.” This type of gift
allows donors to planned their charitable gift during their lifetime,
but defer the actual transfer of assets to the Community Foundation
until after their passing.
Donors identify the charitable causes they wish to
benefit from gifts from their estate and make arrangements to ensure
their wishes are fulfilled through arrangements made with their legal
and financial advisors and the Community Foundation.
The most common planned gifts are made through a bequest
in an individual donor’s will. Many bequests are made to the Community
Foundation to benefit one or more nonprofit organizations with a gift to
an existing or new endowed fund specifically established for this
purpose.
