How does charitable giving contribute to community betterment?

Those with a passion for the Silver State need to invest in its future. Planned charitable giving will help our Nevada communities survive, thrive and will improve the quality of life for today’s generations and beyond.

According to the HomeTown Competitiveness Program, a grass roots, self-sufficiency community development program, capturing Wealth Transfer is a powerful force in the long-term health of communities and residents. The funds generated are then locally directed to address projects and issues that government and business cannot do alone.

By utilizing the locally controlled, non-profit community foundation and affiliate
program approach for charitable giving and endowment building, TOW funds are used to meet current priorities and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges. The distribution of funds is determined by those who live and work in the communities. Donors can establish flexible endowments or direct their funds to specific projects such as:

• Children’s and school programs
• Family resource centers
• Entrepreneurial and small business development
• Art and cultural museums
• Parks and public open spaces
• Health and safety programs
• Community enhancement programs
• And many others

As you make financial plans for the future, consider your community as an heir. Your own heirs will thank you for it in years to come.
