Dr. Michael J. Kurtz Legacy Fund
About the Fund
The Dr. Michael J. Kurtz Legacy Fund is a CFAAC Designated Fund, generously established through a bequest from Michael J. Kurtz, who passed away in 2022. This fund honors his wishes and legacy by supporting the Wellness House of Annapolis, a nonprofit dedicated to providing comprehensive support for individuals battling cancer.
Michael was also the recipient of the 2023 Celebration of Philanthropy Legacy Award for Planned Giving. This prestigious award recognizes individuals or families who have made a significant contribution to local nonprofits through planned gifts, which may include gifts of equity, life insurance, real estate, personal property, or cash, either during their lifetime or as part of their estate planning. Michael’s commitment to philanthropy continues to inspire the community.
Additionally, Michael’s wife, Cherie Loustaunau, was honored with the same award in 2020 for her posthumous generosity, further solidifying their lasting impact on the community through their shared commitment to giving.
