Not only can this type of gift be economically advantageous for your family, but it also preserves your legacy as a supporter of Connecticut Community Care. Below are some examples of planned gifts.

A donor advised fund, which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to Connecticut Community Care. You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts.
