Legacy Society

Legacy giving does not require a large income or vast estate. Legacy gifts can be made through language in your will, or trust, by naming NCCF as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement account (IRA, 401K, 403B), and through life-income gifts: Charitable Remainder Trusts, Charitable Lead Trusts, and Charitable Gift Annuities, which enable you to provide financially for yourself or your loved ones while planning for future charitable giving.

As a members of the Legacy Society, you have the opportunity to participate in special gatherings and educational programs with like-minded people who are committed to supporting the needs of our communities.

Other benefits include:

• networking opportunities to learn what others are planning in order to create good in an everlasting and meaningful way
• opportunities to meet and discuss charitable giving with the NCCF staff members who provide stewardship for your philanthropy
• the comfort of knowing that your fund and its grants are guaranteed to stay local, with fiduciary oversight
• special recognition in newsletters and annual reports unless you prefer anonymity
• peace of mind, knowing that your fund’s principal is invested wisely, and safeguarded

Your planned gift or bequest puts you in good company today. Tomorrow, your endowed fund will be multiplied with gifts from other caring individuals and families to do good work in our communities for generations to come.

If you have included NCCF in your estate plans and are not a recognized Legacy Society member, please contact Philanthropic Services at (860) 626-1245 or let us know below:
