The Greater Kansas City Community Foundation’s philanthropic advisors are experts in grantmaking and legacy building, and they can help you think through your priorities and goals to develop custom solutions that will sustain your charitable legacy.

The Community Foundation offers private, custom educational programs for Community Foundation donors. Our team can facilitate a meeting to help families establish charitable giving roadmaps to guide future giving, or we can offer assistance planning philanthropic activities based on specific charitable interests.

Document Your Philanthropic Legacy

Articulating your charitable goals and priorities during your lifetime will ensure your philanthropic legacy follows your intentions after you're gone. You can use our form to capture your plans, or you can work with us to document a more detailed vision and philosophy for your philanthropy. These documents can complement your existing estate plan, and may include the following:

• Specific organizations you want to support
• Interest areas that you care about, like education, health care or the environment
• Geographic areas where you’d like your giving concentrated
• Absolutes or more stringent guidelines for your giving
• A timeline for your giving, which may be indefinitely or for a set number of years

Download our Document Your Charitable Legacy form or contact us if you'd like to discuss more detailed plans for your philanthropy.
