A charitable bequest is one of the easiest ways to create a legacy and make a lasting gift to our community.

A donor interested in investing in the future of our community can leave a portion of their estate to the Community Foundation - while still providing for loved ones.

A bequest to the Community Foundation can be easily made through a simple designation in a will or trust.

A charitable bequest can dramatically reduce estate and inheritance taxes.  Because a bequest to the Community Foundation allows an unlimited charitable deduction and because combined federal and state taxes can exceed 67% of the estate, bequests typically generate significant tax savings that can be passed on to a donor's heirs.
