Your love for Greater Rome can last for generations.
Greater Rome is home. It is where we've built relationships, raised families, created memories, and found opportunities to make a difference.
Including the Community Foundation for Greater Rome in your estate plans is a meaningful way to give back to the community that has been part of your story. A gift through your will or estate plan can help ensure that the causes you care about continue to thrive for generations to come.
A Lasting Gift. A Lasting Impact.
You don't have to make a gift today to make a difference tomorrow.
By including the Community Foundation in your will or living trust, you can provide for the people you love while also creating a lasting charitable legacy.
Your gift can be:
A specific dollar amount — a gift of any size.
A percentage of your estate — allowing your gift to adjust as your estate changes.
A portion of what's left — after your loved ones and other commitments have been provided for.
You can also name the Community Foundation as a beneficiary of a retirement account or other eligible financial account.
Your Legacy. Your Priorities.
There are several ways to make a lasting difference through the Community Foundation.
Support Greater Rome's Future: A gift to the Greater Rome Impact Fund helps address changing needs and opportunities in our community. Your generosity becomes part of a permanent resource dedicated to making Greater Rome a better place to live.
Support a Cause Close to Your Heart: If you care deeply about a particular issue or charitable organization, we can help you explore ways to direct your future gift toward that purpose.
Create a Lasting Family Legacy: You may wish to establish a named charitable fund that reflects your family's values and supports the community for generations. We can work with you to explore the fund structure that best fits your wishes.
Getting Started Is Easier Than You Might Think
You don't need to have a large estate to leave a meaningful legacy.
Think about what matters to you. What organizations, causes, or community needs would you like to support?
Talk with your attorney or estate planning advisor. They can help you determine the best way to include a charitable gift in your plans.
Connect with us. We'd welcome the opportunity to learn about your wishes and help ensure your future gift can be used as you intend.
You can also make a charitable bequest without notifying us, although sharing your plans gives us the opportunity to thank you and help make sure your intentions are understood.
Whether you have a specific vision or are just beginning to explore the possibilities, we're here to help.
Let's talk about the difference you'd like to make in Greater Rome.
