Plan Your Legacy


 

Through planned gifts with the Delaware Community Foundation, people have shared their good fortune. They have assisted those who need a helping hand, promoted the arts, protected the environment, worked to build community, improved education and in many other ways made sure their legacy of caring will continue for future generations.

There are many easy giving options from which you can choose — from a simple bequest or a charitable gift annuity to a more complex trust arrangement — we can help you find the planned gift that works best for you.

Some planned gifts offer lifetime income for you and a loved one — and most provide tax benefits. With a planned gift, you can establish or add to:

  • An endowment for a favorite nonprofit organization
  • A donor advised fund that enables your children and grandchildren to carry on your philanthropic legacy,
  • A fund that will support an area you care about, such as education or the environment, or
  • An unrestricted fund that will support the DCF's grantmaking our community's greatest need as those needs evolve in the future.

We will soon have an interactive and fun to use website that will include::

  • If you are already considering certain giving options, simply click on Compare Gift Options and select the gifts they want to learn more about.
  • If you're not sure how our gift plans can meet your financial goals, enter the Legacy Planner™, and follow the trail to the gifts that will work best for your situation. Each option you select leads to more choices, letting you design your own gift plans.
  • Request a personalized gift illustration from us that details their plan, read our most recent Tip of the Day, and refer to the FAQ's and Glossary sections.

Welcome! We hope you enjoy the site.
