“The Community Foundation has been an invaluable resource to me as a tax and financial advisor. There are many examples of client needs met in a cost effective way with minimal administration hassle through donor advised funds, gifts of appreciated stock and qualified IRA distributions. The Community Foundation makes it easy and effortless to accomplish tax advantaged philanthropic goals.”

“In a trusted advisor role, I recommend to clients that they contribute to The Community Foundation for several reasons. Foremost, their contribution is an investment in our shared community. Whether it’s a general donation or money earmarked for a special cause close to their heart, they know that the steward-ship of the funds will be top notch by The Community Foundation team. In addition, creating an endowment sets up a legacy gift that will keep on giving in perpetuity.”

“Often my charitably-inclined clients wish to benefit the region, but have a difficult time choosing which of the many local philanthropic organizations to support. Thankfully, The Community Foundation provides the perfect vehicle for their charitable contribu-tions. When I counsel clients on charitable giving, I can assure them that a gift to The Community Foundation is an investment in the future of our community. “
