Many people ask themselves how their philanthropy can continue to benefit our community after they are gone. We can help you continue to make a difference through your giving for years to come.

We can work directly with you or through relationships with your professional advisors to ensure that your charitable giving will continue to support the causes or organizations important to you.

Endowing a fund ensures that the principal is never touched, while the fund can grow through wise investments.  Other options are available based on the wishes of our donors. Download Our Legacy Brochure
