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.

Planned Giving Calculations

PhilanthroCalc for the Web

To help your clients explore the options of Charitable Remainder Trusts, Charitable Lead Trusts and Life Estates, we've created the Nevada Community Foundation's PhilanthroCalc for the Web. It automatically uses the most favorable discount rate allowed by the IRS and is updated regularly. While PhilanthroCalc is no substitute for sound legal and tax advice, your clients can use this tool to run sample calculations of income streams and tax deductions before visiting with you in the office.

We are also exploring the option of offering a tool to help you complete the necessary tax filings when your clients decide to utilize these planned giving options. If offering a web based tool to help you with these IRS required calculations would be helpful, please let us know by calling Chuck Salter, Director of Advancement, at 702.892.2326.
