Planned Giving

Planned giving (or estate planning) can be a valuable giving vehicle for you as a donor and for the causes you most want to support. There are many options for planned giving, from simple bequests to complex trust vehicles. Our staff is available to answer your questions and explain the options that may work best for you. Although we are not financial advisors, we can help you work effectively with your own advisor or attorney, as appropriate. To reach our Planned Giving Hotline, click here.

Advisors

When making decisions about your philanthropy, you want trusted experts at your side. While the Santa Fe Community Foundation works with many excellent advisors, we refrain from making direct recommendations – we suggest that you work with someone who is the best fit for your needs, situation, and personality. We hope you find the following list a useful starting point.
