Give Now and Into the Future
Be a Community Champion – Establish Your Fund
For over two decades, we’ve helped community-minded people reach their philanthropic goals. We offer simple giving solutions tailored to your values, goals, and personal financial circumstances. We provide an easy and flexible way to meet your giving goals by establishing a charitable fund. Gifts to your fund may include bequests, cash, stock, real estate, life insurance, charitable remainder and lead trust, and other assets.
With your fund, you have the ability to give to a wide variety of charities and causes. You have the freedom to change charities should your interests change. Nonprofits may use their endowed fund as a permanent unrestricted revenue stream to forever serve their mission and purpose.
Begin Your Legacy Today
Many people build their funds over several years, timing contributions to fit their personal and financial plans. You may wish to start a fund with an initial outright gift of cash, securities, or other marketable assets, supplementing it later with additional gifts and/or through a life income plan or bequest.
