Planned Giving

A planned gift to the Community Foundation is a way to give back to the community and nurture its positive future. Think about what has been important to you and your family and how you would like to insure its future. Your planned gift to the Community Foundation can endow grants to improve the community and meet changing needs or fund your present annual gift to your favorite charity in perpetuity.

You can make a perpetual positive difference and receive potential tax benefit through these planned gifts:
Bequests
Charitable Gift Annuities
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable Lead Trusts
You should confer with your professional advisors about the best options for your estate plan. We will meet with you and your professional advisors if you wish.

Legacy Society
Planned gifts help secure the vitality of the communities in our area. Our Legacy Society recognizes persons who have informed us they have made a planned gift to the community through the Community Foundation. See members of our Legacy Society.

If you have already made a planned gift to our Community Foundation and not informed us, please let us know so we can add you to our list of public and anonymous members.

Our Community Foundation is a proud participant in LEAVE A LEGACY® CONNECTICUT, a statewide public awareness program that encourages people to leave something in their wills to a cause they care about. Learn more at www.leavealegacyct.org.
