To leave a legacy to your community through a planned gift is no small thing. At the Community Foundation we are proud to honor you as a catalyst for good; a true community member with the strong vision of building permanent, charitable capital!
The Strong Bond Society (formerly known as Centennial Society) was inaugurated in 2006 by our Board of Directors. It is a means to recognize and thank those people who share this vision of community good; who are willing to share their estate plans with the Foundation. Society members will be invited to special events and will be recognized in published rosters of the members, with the hopes that upon seeing your compassion others will be encouraged to consider planned gifts as well. (Members may remain anonymous if they desire.)
If you are in the process of making or revising your estate plan, please consider making a gift for this community’s future through the Community Foundation. The steps to take to become a member of the Strong Bond Society are as follows:
1. Make a planned or deferred gift in any amount to the Community Foundation. There are many possible methods for making a gift, either during your lifetime or through your estate. (Your legal or financial advisor can help you evaluate the best options for you.)
2. Provide the Community Foundation with a copy of that portion of your estate planning document pertaining to the gift.
3. Sign a Statement of Gift Intention form for the Strong Bond Society. Here is the Statement of Gift Intention form, if you’d like to take a look at it now.
