all gifts are important
Gifts Come In All Shapes And Sizes. ANY Amount Is Meaningful And Valuable
The Community Foundation strives to offer a variety of giving options so that your donation can say something unique about you! You can give via cash, check, or money order. You may mail your tax-deductible contributions to the Foundation. You may also place your gift electronically HERE.
You may ask your employer to deduct an amount from your pay and have your employer forward those funds to the Foundation.
You may also consider the gift of long-term appreciated securities, which is deductible at full fair market value and capital gains tax. Gifts of real estate can include homes, condominiums, apartments, undeveloped land, or farmland. Donations of long-term appreciated real estate offer tax advantages similar to appreciated securities.

Remembering your community in your will is easy. You may leave a percentage share of your estate, or specify a dollar amount or assign a life insurance policy and beneficiary rights to the Community Foundation. The charitable tax deduction will be for the present cash value of the policy. If the donor continues to pay annual premiums, these too are tax-deductible.
The IRA that helps you and your spouse face retirement years can later be reduced by income, estate, and even excise taxes before it reaches your hands. By naming the Foundation as the plan beneficiary, you can ensure that all the assets will continue to benefit your community. The future benefit to the Foundation will be the face value of the policy. If you are the beneficiary of a trust which pays you a regular income, you may assign a portion of this income to the Foundation. You pay no further tax on this income and may take an income tax deduction for the value of your gift.
