Legacy Society
The Legacy Society honors and assists individuals who wish to perpetually benefit the communities and organizations of Tompkins County by establishing planned gifts with the Community Foundation.
Through various estate planning options, Legacy Society members have the chance to maximize family and financial benefits while addressing philanthropic goals that might otherwise seem unreachable. Planned gifts include bequest intentions in a will, life income agreements, trusts, flexible endowments, real estate with retained life use, retirement plans, and life insurance.
By making a planned gift and joining the Legacy Society, you are helping to catalyze change and fund innovative and lasting solutions to the region’s most challenging problems.
