Leave Your Legacy
Endowment Fund
Leave a Legacy of Love and Hope
When you give to our Endowment Fund, your gift becomes more than a donation—it becomes a legacy. This permanent fund, managed by the Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo, provides a steady source of income, safeguarding the programs and services that benefit Orleans County community members. Every dollar is invested to grow over time, creating a foundation of stability that allows us to plan boldly, respond quickly, and serve compassionately, no matter what the future holds. Will you join us in building that legacy?
Stocks, Bonds & Mutual Funds
Giving publicly-traded securities you’ve owned for more than one year that have increased in value, may provide better tax benefits than giving cash. You can potentially avoid capital gains taxes, reduce brokerage fees, and enjoy a charitable income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock. Your broker can help you.
