Imagine the future.
Your community foundation helps bring your charitable goals to life.
Hello from the community foundation!
We hope you are staying warm during these winter months. As always, we’re happy to share what’s trending across the charitable giving world. Whether you established a fund at the community foundation years ago or recently, or you’re thinking about doing so this year, we are here for you.
—New tax laws effective in 2026 could significantly influence how charitable giving fits into your overall financial plan. The community foundation team is happy to share information about key changes, including new deduction thresholds, limits for high-income donors, incentives for non-itemizers, and expanded opportunities for retirees. Consider sharing our updates with your tax advisors while also keeping the community foundation in the loop. We stand ready to assist!
—A new year is the perfect time to bring intention and clarity to your charitable giving. Lean on the community foundation’s checklist of three simple steps to help you reflect on past giving, understand how new tax laws may affect you, and set meaningful goals for the year ahead. You won’t regret getting an early start, and our team is here to help.
—Life insurance can be a powerful but often overlooked tool for achieving your charitable and legacy goals. The community foundation is happy to work with you and your advisors to evaluate life insurance strategies to complement your donor-advised fund and other giving vehicles as part of your well-rounded charitable plan.
Thank you for allowing us to serve as your home for charitable giving! We’d welcome a conversation about your goals for charitable giving in 2026 and beyond. Getting a jump on the planning process is a great way to start a new year off on the right foot.
Warmly,
Angie Tatro
CKCF CEO
