BEQUESTS: LEAVING A LEGACY

Bequests are often the easiest way to support your charitable interests; a bequest permits you to support your community while retaining complete control over your assets during your lifetime. Bequests can be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or what remains after other bequests such as those to family members are satisfied.

Highlights:
  • You may name a new fund, an existing fund, or a specific group or organization to receive your bequest through a fund at the Community Foundation.
  • You can give cash, appreciated stocks, or other assets.
  • Bequests to the Community Foundation earn a full charitable deduction on estate taxes.
