DONOR CONNECTION – APRIL.2024

The power of endowment gifts, treating your community like family, and the business of giving

 

Greetings from the community foundation! 

 

We’re honored to work with you and so many other individuals, families, and businesses who’ve made charitable giving a priority and share our commitment to improving the quality of life for everyone in our region.

 

If you’ve already established a fund at the community foundation, thank you for the opportunity to be of service! If you’re considering whether to begin working with us, thank you for including the community foundation as you explore your options. We look forward to learning more about how we can help achieve your charitable objectives in ways that align with your financial and estate planning objectives.

 

In this issue, we’re covering three frequently-requested topics:

–Perhaps you’ve always been intrigued by the possibility of establishing an endowment to create a permanent source of philanthropic support for the community you love, but you thought the process might be difficult or daunting. When you work with the community foundation, it’s easy–and enjoyable–to structure your endowment as your gift to improve the quality of life for future generations. 

 

–Thinking about the community when you’re updating your estate plan can help you leave a robust charitable legacy. Discover how the community foundation’s services and tools help giving become a family affair–and why you’re not alone if your community features prominently among your estate plan’s beneficiaries, right alongside your children and grandchildren. 

 

–Working with the community foundation isn’t just for individuals and families. We also help facilitate corporate philanthropy for businesses of all sizes. Learn how the team at the community foundation can help your business give back to the community where your customers and employees live and work.

Angie Tatro,

CKCF CEO
