Welcome to Planned Giving for Indiana Community Foundations

Thank you for visiting the Indiana Community Foundations' gift planning web site.

Many Indiana Community Foundations are collaborating in a gift planning cooperative program. This program is to serve you and your family, your local community and your favorite charities. You can locate your community foundation's contact information by clicking here. To determine if your local community foundation is currently participating in the gift planning cooperative program click here. If your community foundation is not listed in the planned giving cooperative yet, check back often - more foundations will be added.

You are invited to view all the gift planning stories, run a proposal, open the "Reading Room," and explore all the planned giving information available on this site. You have an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy to strengthen and build a better community.
