The Community Foundation of Utah can accept a wide variety of assets. Making a gift can be as simple as writing a check or as sophisticated as creating an estate plan. Learn more about your options below:

• Outright gifts - The Foundation accepts gifts of cash, securities, real estate, life insurance, or tangible personal property.
• Deferred gifts - The Foundation offers many attractive options to help individuals accomplish specific philanthropic and personal objectives. These bequest vehicles include charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, life insurance or an IRA.
• Special Situations - The Foundation also works with individuals, families or corporations with special situations such as transferring assets of a private foundation, or liquidating a company.

The Community Foundation of Utah is happy to work with you and your attorney, trust officer, accountant, or other financial advisor to assist you in connecting your generosity with the state we love. Please call the foundation to discuss these options in detail.
