Planned giving offers a meaningful way to support causes you care about in perpetuity while preserving your financial flexibility today. By incorporating charitable giving into your estate plan, you can create a legacy.
You may include a fund at Central Carolina Community Foundation as a beneficiary in your will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy.
Work with the team at Central Carolina Community Foundation to identify and document which organizations or causes you would like to support.
After your lifetime, we establish your fund in the name you’ve chosen and distribute grants according to your documented intentions.
You may choose to create a scholarship that bears your family name, to honor your alma mater or support students pursuing careers in your profession.
You may fund an annual grant to continue work in a specific field such as the arts, environmental conservation, or health care.
You may design your legacy fund so that it engages future generations of your family in community support by giving them the ability to make donations from your fund.
Or you may create a fund that makes charitable gifts following your specific guidelines, knowing our foundation will carry out your wishes.
Legacy gifts to any fund at CCCF qualify donors for our Legacy Society, which honors those who make a lasting commitment to our community through a will or bequest.
You want your charitable impact to continue supporting the organizations and areas you care about the most for generations to come.
