While you know we depend greatly on the gifts you give us for our annual operating budget, we want you to know that we are planning for our organization’s future by building an endowment fund at the Community Foundation for Muskegon County.
If you feel good about the impact you’re making with your gifts today, we hope you’ll consider an extra gift to the Fund to ensure that your impact continues far into the future! There are some easy ways to do that:
- Write a check to the Community Foundation, with our fund name in the memo line, and drop it in the mail to them at 425 W. Western Ave., Ste. 200, Muskegon, MI 49440. Or give online right now at https://muskegonfoundation.org/give/our-funds/. fwp_fund_search=caamp
and select our fund from the options. - Transfer appreciated stock by having your financial advisor contact the Foundation (231.722.4538 or gifts@muskegonfoundation.
org ). Be sure to let them know it’s for our fund, and they’ll handle all the details from there. - Plan a future gift. An easy, free way is to update your beneficiary designation form on a retirement account or life insurance policy. Instead of leaving 100% to your family, you can split it so that a percentage goes to the Community Foundation for our fund (again, be sure to specify!). Or you can work with your attorney to write a bequest into your will or trust or craft a more complex arrangement that meets your needs. For more information, you can contact Heidi Sytsema at the Foundation at 231.332.4107 or heidi@muskegonfoundation.
org . If you make a planned gift, we hope you’ll let us know so we can thank you and be sure we understand what you’d like your gift to do! You can contact us at [email protected]. Thanks.
Your gifts mean so much to this community. Thank you for being steady supporters of the work we’re doing together today, and thank you for
