The Madison Community Foundation can simplify the creation of your own legacy. Our personalized approach allows you to design a giving plan that fulfills multiple charitable goals and may help you maximize your tax benefits. As a public charity, gifts of any size to any endowment fund are welcome. Low administrative costs, common investment management, and the ability to protect a donor's privacy are advantages enjoyed by donors to the Madison Community Foundation. Once you permanently endow a fund, you may make additional gifts at any time.
Many donors incorporate their funds into their estate plans.
Another alternative available to donors at the Madison Community Foundation is establishing a passthrough fund. You can maximize the amount given to MCF by considering gifts other than cash. MCF encourages you to talk with your professional advisor to help you reach your charitable goals. For donors who want to build their endowment fund over several years, the Acorn Society is designed to specifically meet this need. The Legacy Society honors community members who have included the Madison Community Foundation in their estate planning.
