Connect with local philanthropists
When you join the Legacy Society of Placer Community Foundation, you’ll find uncommon opportunities to remember, share, and connect.
You'll be invited to:
Name your charitable fund. We encourage you to use your gift to honor the name of your family or loved ones. You may, of course, choose anonymity instead.
Share your personal history. We'd like to preserve your story and photographs for future generations who will receive grants from your fund.
Attend special community events. We'll introduce you to other generous people who have also provided for Placer County's future in their estate plans.
Learn of changes in California probate or federal tax law. We want to help you make sure your estate plan continues to accomplish your financial and charitable objectives.
Be recognized in Placer Community Foundation publications. We'd like to give others the opportunity to follow your example of community stewardship and leadership. (We also respect the wishes of those who prefer to give anonymously.)
Your planned gift or bequest puts you in good company today. Tomorrow, your gift will do good works in our communities for generations to come.
Consider joining the ranks of Placer County’s most generous and forward-thinking residents as a member of the Legacy Society of Placer Community Foundation.
