The new year is underway, but there’s still plenty of time to reflect on your charitable impact and plan your giving for 2025. A great place to start is by considering the difference you’ve already made.
Think about the causes you have loved and supported in the past. Many donors establish funds at the Community Foundation because of personal experiences—perhaps a loved one benefited from medical research, a nonprofit counseling service, or compassionate hospice care. Maybe your business thrived thanks to a nonprofit arts district, or you found a cherished pet through an animal rescue. Giving not only changes lives—it also brings joy.

At the Community Foundation, we’re here to help you shape your philanthropic vision for 2025 and beyond. Let’s connect to explore:
- Maximizing your giving through gifts of appreciated stock
- Incorporating charitable giving into your estate plan to leave a lasting legacy
- Partnering with other fundholders to support larger initiatives
- The impact of past grants from your donor-advised fund and ways to inform future giving
- How your support aligns with key community priorities to drive meaningful change
If you’d like to discuss your giving strategy or explore new ways to make an impact, connect with one of our team of Philanthropic Advisors. We are here to help.
