Planned Giving

You make an impact now and give forever with planned giving.

Give today. Leave a legacy for tomorrow.

When you include the Fayette Community Foundation in your estate plans, you’re making an investment that will benefit Fayette County for generations to come. Planned giving is a powerful way to continue building endowments, supporting causes you care about, and creating a lasting legacy.

Legacy Society

The Legacy Society honors individuals who have made a lasting commitment to our community by including the Fayette Community Foundation in their will or estate plans. These generous supporters share a common bond: a deep love for Fayette County and a desire to see it thrive well into the future.

By joining the Legacy Society, you are ensuring that your values and vision will live on—supporting local organizations, programs, and initiatives for years to come.

Becoming a Member

There is no minimum gift required, no membership fee, and the size of your gift is entirely up to you. Your planned gift remains confidential, and your name will only be listed publicly with your permission.

Many members choose to make their commitment through:

  • A designation of IRA or 401(k) assets

  • A charitable remainder trust

  • A life insurance policy

  • A bequest in their will

  • Or by establishing a fund during their lifetime and enhancing it through their estate plans

These gifts help create permanent, impactful funds within the Fayette Community Foundation after the donor’s passing.

  • Receive special recognition in Foundation publications (with your permission)
