Published on November 5, 2026
“Anytime you’re talking about a community foundation, you’re talking about an organization that’s really going to be here forever. And we’re talking about opportunity for donors to establish something in their estate plans or establish a charitable fund, today, that’s going to be here and supporting that particular cause next year, 10 years from now, 50 years, 100 years from now. That’s what the Community Foundation opportunity represents for people.”

  • Easy estate planning with your advisor + the Community Foundation
  • Year-end giving opportunities
  • A $50,000 dollar-for-dollar match happen on December 30th
