Planned Gifts

Planned giving offers individuals the opportunity to create a lasting legacy, even if making substantial charitable contributions during their lifetime is not feasible due to financial commitments such as housing, education, family obligations, and retirement savings. Through estate planning, donors can support meaningful causes while ensuring their philanthropic goals are met. The Benton Community Foundation works closely with donors and their advisors to develop personalized testamentary giving strategies and identify the most appropriate gifting vehicles for each unique situation.
