I’m a Professional Advisor

By partnering with The LaSalle Community Fund Association and The WindsorEssex Community Foundation, professional advisors (accountants, lawyers, life insurance agents, financial planners, and others) can help their clients fulfill their financial, family, and charitable goals and in turn, enhance your relationship with your clients and their families. Some of the advantages to your client include:

• We are knowledgeable of our community and its needs, enabling your client to be as effective as possible in their giving.
• Several charitable organizations or causes can be provided with a single gift.
• The donor can specify a cause without having to name a particular organization.
• During the donor’s lifetime, he/she can alter the charitable purposes of the gift.
• The donor can rest assured that the fund will be professionally managed.
• The donor can rest assured that the fund can remain intact in perpetuity, providing lasting support to the community.
• The donor can remain anonymous.

As a public charity, we accept donations of cash, securities, bequests, gift of life insurance, or real property and we offer maximum tax benefits. For a complete advisor guide for giving to community foundations, contact the Windsor/Essex Community Foundation (519-255-6572) and the staff at the Foundation will be happy to assist you.
