Rural giving stories

What is your rural legacy?


We know that people living in rural communities are very community minded and often care deeply about their communities.

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.
