Begin Planning Your Legacy

Legacy Society

The Legacy Society honors those individuals and families that have chosen to include the Foundation in their estate plans or in a planned gift arrangement. Their generosity will not only benefit future generations but will also help build awareness of what is possible through charitable giving vehicles. Gifts received through an individual's planned giving instrument help build our endowment, assuring a strong and sustaining future for the community.  

If you have included the Nevada Community Foundation in your estate plans, please let us know so that we may acknowledge and thank you.

Benefits of a Community Foundation

By partnering with the Nevada Community Foundation, professional advisors have a resource they can count on to help their clients achieve their philanthropic and financial goals.We want to be a resource for you as well as a philanthropic partner for your clients.

Please email James Arnold, or call him at 702.892.2326, if you have specific questions about how Nevada Community Foundation can partner with you to better meet your clients' needs.  Here are just a few of the ways Nevada Community Foundation can help:

  • We work as your partner. You stay in control of your client relationships—we're here to help you provide a full range of services to your clients.
  • We are experts on charitable giving. Whether it's setting up an alternative to a private foundation or putting together a complicated estate plan, we can tailor giving plans to meet your clients' particular needs.
  • We are experts about our community. We can help your clients be as effective as possible in their giving.
  • We help you connect across generations. When you help families establish an advised fund with us, you and they can stay involved for generations.
  • We help your clients donate a variety of assets, including cash, appreciated securities, and real estate. These can be assets they give now or later, as part of their estate plans.
  • You can help make a difference in the lives of your clients. By partnering with us, you may be able to help your clients increase their current income, increase their heirs' inheritance, leave a legacy in the community, and teach their children about philanthropy.
  • As a public charity, we offer maximum federal and state tax benefits. And starting a fund at a community foundation is significantly less expensive—and easier—than starting a private foundation.
