Give locally to benefit Placer County

Placer Community Foundation provides a perpetual resource to meet Placer County's changing and emerging needs. We partner with you (and your professional advisor) to tailor a gift that maximizes your charitable assets, achieves the timing and impact you want to create, and accomplishes your personal financial planning goals. Whether your roots in Placer County are based on family ties, business connections or hometown loyalties, we can help.

How it works

• Contribute cash, stocks, bonds, retirement accounts, real estate or other assets
• Choose a giving method, such as a bequest, trust, or direct transfer
• Establish an unrestricted, field of interest, designated, agency, donor advised or scholarship fund
• Create a personal legacy by naming your fund, or giving anonymously
• Make you gift last forever by establishing an endowed fund
• Qualify for maximum tax advantage under federal law

We

• Invest your gift
• Monitor community needs in all areas, including arts, economic development, education, environment, health care, and human services
• Award grants from the earnings based on your charitable intentions
• Inform you of investment performance and grant awards
• Handle all administrative details

There is so much more we’d like you to know. For more information and ideas on ways to integrate your financial planning with charitable giving, ask your financial advisor or contact us to discuss your giving options.

Currently, Placer Community Foundation is seeking a major gift to seed, and perhaps name, the Placer Endowment for the Arts. Contact us to learn more.
