For more than 40 years, the Truman Heartland Community Foundation (THCF) has been dedicated to promoting private giving for the public good.
To ensure THCF's mission continues for years to come, a permanent endowment has been established to provide vital operational support, ensuring a sustainable future for the foundation's impactful work.
Legacy giving plays a crucial role in securing the long-term success of community foundations like THCF. By including the THCF Sustainability Fund in your legacy plans, you are making a lasting commitment to support the foundation's mission for generations to come. This act of generosity transcends one's lifetime, leaving an enduring impact on the community.
The significance of legacy giving has become even more apparent in light of the unprecedented challenges faced by nonprofits in recent years. As community foundations continue to be a beacon of support for our neighborhoods, the need for sustained resources has never been greater. By contributing to the THCF Sustainability Fund, you are ensuring that the foundation has the necessary resources to continue making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve, no matter what Mother Nature or Wall Street throws at us.
There are several ways you can contribute to the Sustainability Fund. You can use your Qualified Charitable Distribution to satisfy your IRA Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), designate the THCF Sustainability Fund in your estate plans, or make a grant from your Donor Advised Fund. Each of these options empowers you to join other fundholders in building a better future for our suburban Eastern Jackson, Cass, and Lafayette County communities.
If you have or are considering leaving a legacy gift to THCF’s Sustainability fund, please let us know. Cole Eason, VP of Advancement, would be happy to hear from you.
