Description
Community Giving Foundation’s Legacy Society recognizes individuals and couples who include the Foundation, its funds, or its affiliate foundations in their estate or planned-giving arrangements. Rather than awarding competitive grants, the initiative helps donors provide lasting support for nonprofit organizations, causes, and interests important to them. Gifts can support an existing fund or establish a new named fund, including one honoring or remembering someone close to the donor.
The Foundation serves Pennsylvania’s Central Susquehanna region and invests charitable funds to support community needs over time. Legacy planning emphasizes sustaining nonprofits in perpetuity, providing resources for future community needs, and instilling family philanthropic values. Members may direct distributions from their future gifts or leave those decisions to the Foundation’s Board of Directors.
