National Make-A-Will Month is a timely reminder that one of the most meaningful gifts you can leave is the opportunity to continue supporting the people and causes you care about long into the future.

If charitable giving is part of your estate plan, Jefferson Community Foundation can help you create a Legacy Fund. A Legacy Fund is established today with no initial funding and is activated through your estate upon the execution of your will or other planned gift.

One of the greatest advantages of a Legacy Fund is its flexibility. Rather than naming multiple charitable organizations and gift amounts directly in your will, you can simply direct your charitable gift to your Legacy Fund at JCF. As your priorities or the needs of our community change over time, you can update the organizations you wish to support and the amounts they receive without the expense and complexity of revising your will.

Whether your vision is to support a single nonprofit, several organizations, or respond to future community needs, a Legacy Fund allows your philanthropy to evolve while keeping your estate plan simple.

If you’d like to explore whether a Legacy Fund is the right fit for your estate planning goals, please reach out to Nichol@JCFgives.org to schedule a conversation. We’d be honored to help you create a lasting legacy for Jefferson County.
