Planned Giving

The draft plan can be given to your attorney to formalize. This gives you comprehensive guidance in designing an estate plan that minimizes income, gift, estate, and inheritance taxes, and facilitates smooth business, farm, and asset transition.

Keep 5 in Kansas

Between 2020 and 2064, nearly $30 billion dollars will transfer from one generation to the next in the 26 counties of NW Kansas.

In Decatur County alone an estimated 5% of the wealth transfer by 2025 will total over $6 million. Think about the difference this money could make in Decatur County.

By setting up gifts through community foundations, we could provide a permanent source of funding for local organizations and causes and greatly improve the lives of all Decatur County residents. If we capture a portion of this wealth - even just 5% - by setting up endowment funds through community foundations, we could provide a permanent source of funding for local organizations and causes that will greatly improve the lives of Kansans.

Please consider keeping 5% in Decatur County to ensure our future.
Donors allow GROW to continue investing in Decatur County. There are numerous ways in which donors can give and we hope to honor all donors and their wishes to the best of our abilities.
