Create the Legacy You Want for the Community You Love
Many people choose to include charity in their will or name charity as a retirement plan beneficiary.
Why?
- To give back to their community.
- To keep up the donations they made during their lifetime, so the organizations they care most about can continue to count on them.
- To continue a family tradition of giving.
The Adams County Community Foundation can help.
The Adams County Community Foundation has been helping generous people make the most of their giving for generations. We are here to help you and your personal representative ensure your legacy has the maximum impact and that your wishes are put into action.
How?
Here are three ways to create a legacy:
- Give back to your community.
Include The Adams County Community Foundation in your will. Tell us it’s a gift for Adams County or another specific community. Your gift will last forever and the Community Foundation will use it to help make Adams County or your named community stronger.
- Make a gift close to your heart.
What do you care most about? Supporting the good works of your spiritual community? Education for our children? Taking care of those in need? Include The Adams County Community Foundation in your will or name us as a charitable beneficiary to your retirement plan. Tell us what’s in your heart. Your gift will last forever, and The Adams County Community Foundation will use it to support your chosen purpose.
- Start a family tradition.
Pass on your values to your children. Include The Adams County Community Foundation in your will. Tell us it’s for a charitable fund in your family’s name. Your children can work with The Adams County Community Foundation to decide where donations from your family fund will go. They will remember you with gratitude for your caring.
