What Does Your Legacy Look Like?

Would you name a fund in memory or honor of your family or someone close to you? What organization, cause or passion would you support? What is your story?

Philanthropy requires a generosity of spirit and the desire to improve the quality of life for others, both now and in the future. Through the Community Giving Foundation, it's simple for you to establish meaningful impact through a planned gift to a current fund or your own named fund. Joining our Legacy Society only requires a thoughtful intention to make a lasting commitment to your community for the future. What better way to honor the passions and spirit of a family member or friend?

Choosing to make a planned gift reflects your ongoing commitment to your community and the causes you value most. It enables you to act on your convictions and create a lasting legacy that makes a difference for others in perpetuity.
