DONOR CONNECTION – JANUARY.2025

Imagine the future.

Your community foundation helps bring your charitable goals to life.

Happy New Year from the community foundation! 

We hope your 2025 is off to a good start already.

Many of you have been fund holders or fund advisors at the community foundation for years, and we are grateful. Some of you established a donor-advised fund, field-of-interest fund, scholarship fund, or unrestricted fund in 2024, and we’re so glad you did. Others of you are evaluating whether to start a fund at the community foundation in 2025. Wherever you may be along your charitable giving journey, we invite you to reach out anytime. 

Here’s what’s trending here at the community foundation.

–A new year can bring new opportunities for community involvement, including introductions to charities you’ve not yet supported. Whether you’ve been approached to support a friend’s favorite charity or have just learned about a brand new organization, think of the community foundation team as your go-to sounding board for due diligence.  

–A budget may not be the very first thing that comes to mind when you think about ringing in a new year, but budgets are important, even when it comes to charitable giving. The community foundation is happy to offer tips to help you plan your philanthropy goals for 2025 to align with your financial priorities. 

–Charitable giving is a powerful thread that runs through multiple generations of many philanthropic families. The team at the community foundation can help incorporate charitable giving into your legacy plans to achieve not only your goals for community impact, but also your intentions to empower financial independence in your children and grandchildren.

We look forward to working with you in the months ahead!

With gratitude,

Angie Tatro,

CKCF CEO
