Your gifts to the Lafayette Community Foundation
(LCF) provide resources for many years to come, and the value of your
gift will live on through the lives it enriches. Donors may direct their
gift to support general fields of interest (education, arts, library,open
spaces); specific groups (youth, seniors); or specific Lafayette nonprofit
institutions (schools or named organization).
LCF welcomes gifts and bequests of any size and offers donors a wide variety
of funds to meet their charitable goals, including:
- Donor Advised Funds which allow donors to recommend grants to be made from their fund
- Designated Funds established by donors to support specific organizations
- Corporate Funds established by businesses and corporations to manage their philanthropy
- Organizational Funds established by nonprofit organizations to increase their financial sustainability
- Testamentary Funds established by donors to receive gifts from their estates and carry on their charitable goals
Unrestricted gifts allow resources to be applied wherever needed most. If you prefer, the Foundation Board would be pleased to work with you to determine how your gift will be used.
Gifts may be made with many kinds of assets. In addition to cash and readily traded stock, we can assist you with gifts of these assets:
- Mutual Funds
- Closely held stock
- Restricted stock
- Limited partnerships
- Real estate including residential and commercial
- Appreciated assets
- Life Insurance policies
Many people today are using Planned Gifts as a part of their financial and estate plans. The most popular form of a Planned Gift is a bequest from your will or trust. But there are many other Planned Giving options which offer donors a wide range of benefits. Lafayette Community Foundation offers:
- Pooled Income Funds
- Charitable Remainder Trusts
- Charitable Lead Trusts
- Life Estate Gifts
- Bargain Sales
And, while we all know that giving comes in many forms -- with financial support the most urgently needed -- the generous giving of your time is inestimable. There is an acute need for volunteers. Working with the Lafayette Community Foundation can be very rewarding. |
