  • Cash is the simplest way to give and always welcome. You can make an online donation or mail your gift to us.

  • Many donors like to donate appreciated stock and securities. The donor must contact our office prior to initiating a stock donation and let our staff know the specifics of their donation (number and type of shares) and of their intentions so that we can track their donation received into the stock account for proper deposit credit and donor acknowledgement.

GIVE TOGETHER

GIVING CIRCLES

A giving circle is a form of participatory philanthropy where groups of individuals donate their own money or time to a pooled fund, decide together where to give these away to charity or community projects and, in doing so, seek to increase their awareness of and engagement in the issues covered by the charity or community project.  Many circles, in addition to donating their money, also contribute their time and skills to support local causes.

WAYS TO ESTABLISH A LEGACY ENDOWMENT

  • A bequest can be a specific sum of money willed to an existing fund or one that you would create ahead of time. It can also take the form of a percentage of your estate or a specific asset such as your IRA account or a house or other types of real estate. In addition, our Community Foundation can be named as the residual beneficiary of your estate, a contingent beneficiary or as the ultimate recipient of the assets of a charitable remainder trust.

  •  When someone passes away, retirement assets are included for estate and income taxes – often up to 86%. Funding a charitable legacy endowment with an IRA or retirement plan prevents the bequest from becoming a liability of your estate, and your end-of-life donation is made with pre-income tax funds.

  • This planned giving strategy is ideal for donors who want to provide a life-time income stream for themselves, their spouse or children. The tax benefits of this type of trust are substantial. Upon the donor’s death, the remaining assets in the trust come to GGVCF.

  • This planned giving strategy is ideal for donors who want to provide a stream of income to the community foundation now, and have the principal in the trust revert to beneficiaries (typically family member) at the end of a finite period of time.
