Ways of Giving

The Community Foundation is a flexible vehicle for charitable gifts of all sizes. Both large and small gifts can take a variety of forms, depending on tax and estate planning priorities. Examples are:

• OUTRIGHT GIFTS of cash, securities and real estate are a convenient way to donate and you have the pleasure of seeing your gift work during your lifetime.
• LIFE INSURANCE can offer an immediate tax deduction in the amount of the cash value of the policy when the Foundation is named as the irrevocable beneficiary.
• LIFE INCOME GIFTS will provide the donor and/or a family member with an income for life. The donor also receives a charitable tax deduction and estate taxes are reduced. A Charitable Gift Annuity and a Charitable Remainder Trust are examples of this type of gift. The remainder establishes the donor's named charitable trust.
• IRA'S can provide tremendous estate tax benefits by naming the Community Foundation as the beneficiary of your IRA.
