Planned Giving to an organization that is tax-deductible is a gift that is transferring one’s possessions to another.

This information will be available throughout the year, so that conversations can be fostered about planned giving.
As Common Ground moves to a planned giving program there will be opportunities for donors to leave a legacy and the organization would have another avenue of income for the future of Common Ground and for the Cedar Grove
