Why Might One Give to the Community Foundation?
Our donors all have different reasons for giving. Blog entries over the next months will cover many of those possible reasons, expanding on how you can use the Community Foundation to reach your charitable goals – whether that’s simply to feel like you are making a difference, or to leave a legacy in a certain area of interest.
Why might you give to your Community Foundation?
- To leave a personal legacy
- To support a particular interest/cause/nonprofit you truly care about
- To help teach and involve your children about philanthropy and the importance of giving back to their community
- To make a difference in your community
- To ensure the viability of a nonprofit, even after your lifetime
- For a great tax benefit
- For recognition
- To belong to a giving circle
- Because you’re not sure where to give your charitable dollars, but the Community Foundation has a good idea
- Because you feel education is important but expensive, and you want to help students pay for it
- To honor or remember a loved one
- Because “they” did
