Welcome to the Community Foundation for Monterey County
Gift Planning Web site

Thank you for your interest in the Community Foundation for Monterey County. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have an increasing number of friends at the Community Foundation who are now benefiting from life income gifts, charitable remainder trusts, and other plans. Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning.


Benefits for Donors and the Community Foundation for Monterey County

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these donors have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by meeting these friends. Just click on the picture and you can view each story.


Major IRA Gift
Tom is a retired CPA. With good investments, his IRA had grown to become over 80% of his total estate. Tom was looking for a way to rebalance his estate. He wanted to make a major gift to charity, but needed to protect his home and personal savings. More on Major IRA Gift >>.


Bequests
Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of the Community Foundation for Monterey County. They believe it is important to support and encourage their mission. More on Bequests >>.


Tax-Free Sale
Gene and Carol White were age 55 when they purchased some development land outside of town. They thought it would be a good investment that they could later sell for a higher price. They have owned the property for 10 years and now would like to sell. More on Tax-Free Sale >>.


Current Gifts
As is the case with many families, there are times each year when Jim and Sharon focus their attention on gift giving. For years, they have created a gift list that includes family members, friends and loved ones. More on Current Gifts >>.
