Many people don’t imagine how far their generosity will stretch. The beauty of the community foundation model is how endowment funds grow over time. Bequests made to Community Foundations are not only preserved, they are multiplied, supporting causes that align with your wishes and creating a lasting impact in your community. 

Why Bequests Matter 

You don’t need to be wealthy to leave a legacy. Whether large or small, all bequests will grow through professional stewardship, making a transformational difference to your favourite causes.

A Gift That Keeps Giving 

Unlike a one-off donation, a bequest is invested in an endowment fund, where the capital remains intact while the investment earnings fund grants every year—forever.

• The gift isn’t just spent—it is multiplied.
• Local charities receive reliable, ongoing funding—rain or shine.
• Bequests inspire others to give in the same way, creating a ripple effect of generosity.

Could your will leave a legacy that will live on?
