As 2025 comes to an end, you may be searching for ways to help organizations in need in our community. Gifts made to The Foundation can be tailored to address both your financial concerns and charitable interests. We offer a range of options for year-end giving. Please consider the following as you consider charitable giving:

• You may contribute to The Foundation in honor or memory of a loved one. You may also recognize a special pet of a friend or family member!
• We will acknowledge gifts for 2025 that are postmarked by December 31 or credit card gifts made through our website before midnight on December 31.
• Gifts of stock that have appreciated in value may generate additional tax savings.
• Speak with a tax advisor about an IRA rollover gift or required minimum distribution (RMD).
• Review the beneficiaries of your retirement accounts and insurance policies. Should you choose, The Foundation can be named as a recipient.
• A gift over $10,000 can be used to create a new fund and a gift of $25,000 can be used to create a new scholarship.

We will be available until 5:00 pm December 31 to answer any questions or receive any gifts.
