Your charitable giving makes an impact on others in our community. Your giving helps to educate, feed, provide care, and so much more to the people in our community so everyone can thrive. Engaging in giving allows you to leave a legacy and make an impact on the people and places you care most about. There are different times in a person’s life when it makes sense for them to give.
Legacy Giving: By leaving a legacy gift, you can create an impact for future generations to experience and have a lasting change. A planned gift is established now and will benefit the community long after a donor’s lifetime.
Lifetime Giving: Giving now, to the causes you and your family are passionate about, allows you to see the impact your generosity has on the community. You may also come across a time in your life where the tax advantages of being charitable are too good to pass on. By taking advantage of these times during your lifetime, you can have a positive impact on your own finances while creating an impact on the community you call home. A key way to do this is by opening a Donor Advised Fund, which is easy to establish as well as operate.
