Thanks to everyone who attended and completed our survey.

Myth: Estate plans are only for the wealthy. ❌
Truth: Anyone can make a difference with a planned gift. ✅

You don’t need a massive fortune to leave a lasting mark on your community. Even a gift of just 1% of your estate can create a permanent legacy that supports the local causes, parks, and neighbors you love for generations to come.

Here are three simple, stress-free ways to include your community in your will:
1. A percentage gift: Dedicate a small percentage (like 1% or 5%) to the community foundation, ensuring your family is taken care of first.
2. A specific cause: Direct your gift to a Field of Interest Fund to permanently support a cause close to your heart, like literacy, animal welfare, or local arts.
3. A beneficiary designation: Avoid changing your will entirely by naming the Community Foundation as a partial beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy.

Planning your legacy is simpler than you think, and its impact will be felt forever. 🌟
