A planned or legacy gift is a donation made from your estate, and – as the name suggests – is often part of a long-term plan for your assets.
A planned gift can be outright (such as gifts of appreciated securities, property, real estate, and so on) or deferred (such as a bequest in your will, or a beneficiary designation for a life insurance policy or charitable trust).
The gift can be made to support the Community Center’s full scope of programs, or in support of a specific program.

The Sonoma Community Center gladly accepts grants made through Donor-Advised Funds. Like any donation, your grant can be designated to be used wherever the need is greatest, or for specific program areas that you choose to support.
Clients of Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and BNY Mellon can easily make a designation through the DAF Direct Window below. Clients with a Donor-Advised Fund at one of the Community Foundations in our region can click on the relevant link to be taken to their donor portals.
