Rural giving stories

What is your rural legacy?


Community is very important to the rural sector. And succession planning can be a problem.

This is where the local Community Foundation can help.

Many farmers are finding a useful solution for their estate planning through an invested endowment fund with their local Community Foundation.

It’s a solution that can also bring great fulfillment, in the knowledge that they can help their beloved rural community for the long-term.
