How You Can Help 

The Foothills Community Foundation recognizes the needs of our community. Our members and donors are people like you ­ people who care about our community.  To help achieve our mission of enriching the quality of life and unifying the Desert Foothills, we need and appreciate tax deductible gifts of all sizes. Here are several ways you can contribute and an outline of Member Benefits.

Annual Individual and Corporate Membership Contributions
support annual programs and services, keeping members and the community informed about Foundation offerings.

Event Sponsorships  enable the Foundation to raise direct support for services in the community.

In-Kind Gifts  of materials and services help to offset annual Foundation expenditures.

Outright Gifts  of cash, securities, real estate or personal property promote increased community philanthropy.

Bequests  as part of an estate plan, can designate the Foothills Community Foundation as the beneficiary, creating a permanent community legacy.

Planned Gifts  benefit the donor and the Foothills Community Foundation, provide additional income for the donor or charity, and plan for ultimate disposition of assets with tax benefits through Pooled Income funds, Charitable Lead or Remainder Trusts, or Gift Annuities.
