Legacy Society
“A client’s Will enables them to provide for beneficiaries and institutions long after the client has passed away. The use of the Community Foundation to accomplish these objectives is ideal. Its corporate administration provides financial responsibility and allows for flexibility in the administration of the fund if the client wishes to grant such discretion.“
– Robert Kresse, Esq.
Trusts & Estates Attorney at Barclay Damon LLP
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.
