Legacy Society
Bette and John Hulley have generously supported our community for years, including through John’s work as a master craftsman on restoration projects like the Darwin Martin House. When it came time to plan their legacy, they selected the Community Foundation. Bette, a certified financial planner, has referred several long-standing clients to the Community Foundation and knew it was the right partner to ensure that the community they cared for during their lives would be supported in their names forever.
Managing the charitable legacies of generous individuals is central to the work of the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo. The Community Foundation Legacy Society was created in 1999 to acknowledge those individuals who have committed to supporting the community in the future through a planned gift. According to their specific directions, the Community Foundation will support the organizations, issues and communities these individuals care about, in their names, forever, in Western New York and beyond.
Making arrangements for your charitable legacy is a simple process and we are here to help. If you are interested in supporting the community beyond your lifetime, please contact the Giving Strategies team at (716) 852-2857.
