Some places never leave us.

Wisconsin, with a heart

Maybe it’s where you grew up. Or where you spent every summer. Where you built a business. Found lifelong friends. Or simply discovered a place you’ll always love. Whatever your story, that place became part of it.

Now, you have an opportunity to become part of its future.

5% makes a big impact.

Over the next 50 years, more than $700 billion will change hands across Wisconsin.

What if just 5% helped strengthen the communities that shaped us?

Research shows it could create billions of dollars in opportunity for communities within our region. Imagine what that could become.

  • A scholarship
  • A new trail
  • Housing for local families
  • A stronger nonprofit
  • A thriving arts program
  • The next great idea our community needs

GIVE FORWARD

is a simple idea: when you include the community you love in your legacy plans, even a small gift can make a lasting difference. No one can predict exactly what the future will bring. But together, we can help ensure our communities are ready for it.

Invest in the Community you love:

Ways to GIVE

Because generosity is personal. Every legacy should be, too.

GIVING FORWARD isn't about one type of gift.

It's about supporting a place that has been part of your story.

You may choose to:

Donate appreciated stock
Establish a donor-advised fund
Contribute business interests
Give farmland or real estate
Create an endowment that supports your community for generations
Include a charitable gift in your estate plan

Your community foundation

works alongside your attorney, financial advisor, and tax professional to help you explore options that align with your family, your values, and the community you care about.

The best legacy isn’t measured by what we leave behind. It’s measured by what lives on because we cared.
