Begin Planning Your Legacy

Legacy Society

The Legacy Society honors those individuals and families that have chosen to include the Foundation in their estate plans or in a planned gift arrangement. Their generosity will not only benefit future generations but will also help build awareness of what is possible through charitable giving vehicles. Gifts received through an individual's planned giving instrument help build our endowment, assuring a strong and sustaining future for the community.  

If you have included the Nevada Community Foundation in your estate plans, please let us know so that we may acknowledge and thank you.

The Professional Advisor's Council

Professional Advisors (attorneys, accountants, estate planners and financial advisors) play a significant role in furthering the mission of the Community Foundation and increasing philanthropic resources.  Donors will work with a team of professionals in planning their annual charitable giving while also planning their charitable legacy.  These professionals serve as legal, tax or financial advisors to their clients, while the Community Foundation serves on the team as the philanthropic advisor - making sure their clients' charitable giving is effective and has the greatest impact.

The Community Foundation appreciates the time and expertise the following individuals share with us regularly as part of our Professional Advisors Council.  this council helps us communicate and interact more effectively with the advisor community.
