For donors
Your life's work can continue to make a difference here. By leaving 95% of your estate to your family and directing 5% to your local community foundation, you can support the hometown and causes that matter to you for years to come. A gift may be as simple as adding one sentence to your will, naming the foundation as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life-insurance policy, or sharing a portion of the proceeds from stock, farmland, or a home sale. Even a modest gift can help create lasting opportunities when combined with the generosity of others.
Your gift can be invested in a long-term community fund providing grants for local needs year after year.
Consider setting aside 5% for your community foundation and help your hometown remain strong for the people who call it home next.
