Planned Giving

Carolyn Christianson cared about students getting an education. By leaving a legacy with the community foundation, her scholarship has provided many students financial assistance for college – and will continue to do so, forever.

Leave a Legacy – Give Through Your Will

By leaving a portion of your estate to the Community Foundation of NCW, you can support the causes you care about – forever. There are many options for your gift, and we work closely with you and your financial advisor to determine the best way to carry out your charitable dreams.

We offer the following documents to help you better understand your planned giving options:

Bequest Language – Important language to use in giving through your will.

Give 10 Booklet – this guide to planned giving shows examples of the many ways you can leave a legacy to your family and your community
