Legacy Society

The Legacy Society

The Legacy Society recognizes people who are planning today for gifts that will provide significant benefits to our community in the future and thanks these donors during their lifetimes. Legacy gifts may take the form of bequests, donations of life insurance, or other types of charitable planned gifts.

Why join the Legacy Society?

Members of the Legacy Society will be recognized in the Community Foundation’s printed materials and invited to member-only special events. Additionally, members will receive information related to Community Foundation grants awarded to local charities of the donor’s choice and opportunities to direct grant funds to specific charities on an annual basis.

How do I become a member?

You are eligible if you have made arrangements in your will (or through some other form of deferred giving) for a gift to the Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes, Inc. Simply notify us of your plans by returning the Legacy Society form. Participation in the Legacy Society is voluntary and we respect the wishes of those who prefer to remain anonymous.

If you are interested in joining this prestigious group, simply complete the Legacy Society Intention Form.
