Bill and Doris Horner, Legacy Society Members
Your Community Foundation … Benefiting the Region Every Day, Forever.
Dick and Connie Mayer and their families have lived in the Johnstown Community for over five generations. Their fund was created “to support organizations that help make this area great and allow future generations to benefit from these ongoing programs.”
Scott & Diane Little, “Diane and I are blessed to be able to provide support to educational causes through the foundation. It gives us the potential for our gifts to appreciate in value. It also provides great convenience when we choose to make a donation. The staff is always very responsive and helpful.”
Elmer Laslo, CEO, 1st Summit Bank, “I felt this is the right thing to do. It fits into my planning, and I get to direct what my funds will support.”
Raymond DiBattista, “The perpetuity of a fund with the Community Foundation and the tax advantages that make it more meaningful are reasons enough when one wishes to support a favored program or benefit a worthy cause or organization well into the future.”
Robin Strachan, “I believe in the concept of ‘paying it forward.’ Throughout my life, I’ve been blessed with so much. By providing an estate gift to the Community Foundation, I’m expressing gratitude while also making an investment in the future.”
William “Bill” Glosser, Attorney, “A unique and satisfying way to make a professional and personal difference in the life of our community.”
William “Bill” Rice, Registered Financial Consultant, “A charitable bequest is a beneficiary designation or a provision in a will or trust that allows estate assets to pass to a charitable organization. Thoughtful planning will help you provide for the right beneficiaries, in the right manner, and possibly help minimize taxes.”
Michael Sahlaney, Attorney, “Lifetime gifts and will bequests to the Community Foundation are simple, cost effective ways to provide long term benefits and support to the charities that you have cared about all through your life and can also provide tax benefits for you or your estate.”
