Leave a Legacy

Leave a legacy with a planned gift to the New Canaan Community Foundation.  Make a difference now and in the future.

Legacy gifts are an ideal way to show your commitment to the causes you care about. By naming the Foundation in your estate plans, you ensure that your family’s name will forever be connected to your charitable passions. A legacy gift can support a specific cause or charity, or be flexible to meet the changing needs of the community over time. Either way, your philanthropic legacy is secure, and the Foundation is here to ensure your charitable plans are carried out according to your wishes.

Expertise

When you invest in the future of causes you care about, you want to work with someone who knows and has a commitment to community. The professional staff at the Foundation is available for advice on the needs and activities of local nonprofits as well as regional and national organizations. Community Foundations are ideal partners in planned giving, as we are community institutions here in perpetuity – to respond to the community over time, and to focus on impactful philanthropy.
