Every August, National Make-A-Will Month sparks important conversations about planning for the future. For nonprofits, it’s a chance to encourage donors to complete or update estate plans, explore legacy giving, and highlight the power of endowment gifts. By connecting wills with lasting impact, you can inspire supporters to include your mission in their plans—helping sustain your work for generations to come.

Events like galas and golf tournaments are great for fundraising and community-building—but special rules apply when donor-advised funds are involved. Donors can’t use their fund dollars for tickets, meals, or sponsorships that come with more than “incidental benefits.” They can, however, support your event by making gifts without perks and still be recognized. The community foundation is here to help you navigate the rules.

Recent changes in federal tax law under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) bring both challenges and opportunities for nonprofits. From higher standard deductions that may impact tax-motivated giving, to upcoming 2026 limits on charitable deductions, and even a new non-itemizer deduction, the landscape is shifting. 2025 may be a pivotal year for larger gifts, and the community foundation is here to help you plan and maximize support through these changes.
