How Does Legacy, a Regional Community Foundation Work?

• Generous donors contribute money, stock or other assets to Legacy Regional Community Foundation.  At the time of the initial gift, donors state what field or organization they wish to benefit.  Legacy sets up a fund for the donor honoring his or her interest.
  
  
  
  
• Endowed contributions are never spent.  Instead they are permanently invested to provide income.  Investments are overseen by the Legacy investment committee, a committee made up of local bankers, accountants and lawyers as well as interested community members.
  
  
• Distributions or grants are made from investment earnings through a Grants committee consisting of Legacy Foundation board members and interested community leaders.
  
  
• Gifts to Legacy Regional Community Foundation continue to benefit the area forever.
  
  
• Current assets of over two million dollars are managed by Legacy Regional Community Foundation.  See the gifts page for a list of supported organizations and fields of interest.
