Legacy Society
The Community Guardian Legacy Society honors community-minded individuals and couples who are dedicated to making a long-term investment in our region by ensuring their gifts are sustainable and entrusting that future generations benefit from their legacy of giving. Our Community Guardians love this place, and want to see it, and the people here, thrive forever.
How to Become a Community Guardian:
Once you have decided to leave a legacy for your community by giving through the Community Foundation, joining the Community Guardian Legacy Society is simple. All you need to do is notify us of your intention to include the Community Foundation as a beneficiary of your estate plan.
To notify us, please complete and return a Community Guardian Legacy Society Designation Form or contact Chief Operating Officer, Alison Metiva.
