Dear Friend of CFAAC,

Thank you! By giving to and/or through the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County you have helped make our community a better place to live. We are deeply grateful for your partnership in philanthropy.

As you may have heard, August is national Make-a-Will Month. This is a time when many people look ahead and secure the future of the people and causes they love through their will or trust. Because you have a generous spirit, you might want to support several nonprofits in your plans. CFAAC is here to provide philanthropic tools and guidance to help you reach your goals.

Many of your fellow supporters find that working with the staff of the community foundation is helpful with organizing their goals in a way that makes the process easy and less daunting.

“Community Foundations are a professional way of having your charitable wishes administered, and it is so much easier than trying to do it on your own,” she said. “They have the resources and the contacts. They are active in the community and know the organizations that need funds. They know what questions to ask to help you fine-tune how you want to give. Even though I have ideas of how I want the money to be used, working with CFAAC helps me to focus and find resources that I might not know otherwise.”

- Marsha Jackson, Legacy Circle Member
