Ways of leaving your legacy:
Outright Bequests
A testamentary gift left to Owen County Community Foundation through a will or living trust is a simple and direct way to provide a charitable bequest.
Retirement Plans
Naming the Owen County Community Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement funds—such as IRA, 401(k) or 403(b)—is a straightforward and effective way to benefit the community. This type of planned giving may reduce significant, often unanticipated, tax payments.
​
Charitable Remainder Trust
A fund of any type may be established at the Owen County Community Foundation via the remainder of a charitable trust. A gift of this nature enables donors to ensure an annual income for themselves or a loved one during their lifetime, with the funds remaining after the end of the trust term directed to the designated charitable purpose.
​
Life Insurance
A life insurance policy can enable donors to expand modest annual contributions into a more substantial legacy. You can assign a new or existing policy to the Owen County Community Foundation, designated as a full or partial beneficiary.
