Creating Legacy

When you establish a planned gift, you automatically become part of our philanthropic family and are recognized in our legacy society. We had the opportunity to drop in on Virginia Hepner at the Alliance Theatre’s Coca-Cola Stage, where she shared her thoughts about the importance and personal rewards of planned giving.

Impact

“Think about the organizations you support every day. You have an opportunity to continue that great work by leaving a planned gift to an organization you care about. You’ll make a lasting impression. And I can’t imagine a better organization to entrust with your funds than the Community Foundation.”

Virginia Hepner, community leader and legacy donor
