Through the Legacy Society the Community Foundation can 1) Thank those of you who have made planned gifts to us through wills, trusts, gift annuities, life insurance, real estate and other gift vehicles; and 2) Encourage others to consider making some type of planned gift.

Enrollment in the Legacy Society is simply a matter of advising us that you have created a planned gift, of any type or size, to the Community Foundation of Central Florida. We hope you will give us the opportunity to honor your visionary giving, or to assist you and your advisors as you prepare to invest in the community even after your own lifetime.
