LEGACY
SOCIETY
Our
Legacy Society celebrates those individuals and families
who have chosen the Community Foundation as a way to improve
and enhance the community for future generations through
their wills or estate plans with a charitable trust, bequest,
or other planned gift to the Grand Haven Area Community
Foundation.
We
wish to thank the following individuals who have planned
gifts for today that will provide significant benefits to
our community in the future. We hope others are inspired
by their example.

What
Is The Legacy Society?
1.
The Legacy Society recognizes individuals and couples who
have named the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation as
the beneficiary of any type of planned or deferred gift.
The purpose is to acknowledge and thank those who have made
these gifts and to encourage and inspire others to do the
same.
2. Members of the Legacy Society will be recognized in many
of our publications. Also, we will hold a special reception
for the Legacy Society members each year, and Society members
will be invited to other Foundation events.
3. Joining the Legacy Society requires two steps. First,
arrange for a planned gift in favor of the Foundation. Second,
inform the Foundation by submitting the Legacy Society form.
These forms are available through many Tri-Cities area attorneys
and financial planners, from the Foundation office, or click
on the link below to fill out the form, print it, and mail
or fax it to us with your signature on the document.

4. We will not ask how much is being left to the Foundation.
You are, however, encouraged to discuss your gifts with
us to make sure we comply with your wishes, because your
gift will be endowed and grants from it will be made in
perpetuity. If you would like to let us know the name you
would choose for your Fund and your plans for its distribution,
we will file this information confidentially, and you are
then assured that your plans will be followed exactly as
you have outlined them to us. Your instructions to us can
be changed at any time with a simple phone call to the office.
5. Bequests from a will are the most common way to leave
a gift to GHACF; however, some have made the Foundation
the beneficiary of 401K/IRA plans or insurance policies.
Others have established a Charitable Gift Annuity or a Charitable
Remainder Trust in favor of the Foundation, or used other
methods. All qualify a person or couple for membership in
the Society.
6. Finally… Thank you. We are so pleased, through the
Legacy Society, to recognize the people who are planning
for gifts today that will provide significant benefits to
our community in the future. Because of the generosity of
people like you, the Tri-Cities will continue to be a wonderful
place to call home now and for generations to come!
