Planned giving

---

In the coming years, a historic transfer of wealth will take place across Kansas. The choices made today will help shape the future of the communities we care about most. Through the Keep 5 in Kansas campaign, we invite you to consider dedicating at least 5% of your estate to Your Community Foundation, keeping charitable dollars working right here at home for generations to come.

One of the most powerful aspects of giving through a community foundation is flexibility. We partner with many local nonprofits and manage endowment funds that provide them with permanent, reliable support. This means you can direct a planned gift to an organization you already love, whether that is the hospital, library, schools, youth programs, community spaces, or other causes important to you, while knowing your gift will continue making an impact far into the future.

If a fund does not yet exist for the cause you care about, we can help create one.

When assets leave a community, the opportunity to meet local needs leaves with them. But when you plan a gift locally, you help build lasting resources that strengthen nonprofits, expand opportunities, and enhance quality of life for future generations.

Planned gifts are often simpler than people expect and can be made through a will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy.

If you have already included Your Community Foundation in your plans, please let us know so we can thank you and welcome you into our Legacy Society. If you are curious about your options, I would be happy to visit with you confidentially.

Together, we can keep generosity local and protect the future of our community.
