Current Funds

Shaping the community, with interest and purpose
Many funds in the Wayne County Community Foundation operate as perpetual endowments, distributing only their net income, others distribute principal, either at a specific time set forth at the fund's creation or at the suggestion of the fund advisors. Serving the diverse interests of the donors that have funds at the Foundation means supporting a wide array of programs and non - profit organizations. Funds in the Foundation can be classified into eight categories: Unrestricted, Administrative, Scholarship, Donor Advised, Field of Interest, Agency, Designated, or Charitable Gift Annuities. Some funds honor the memory of a loved one, others commemorate a special event in a donor's life. Additional contributions to all the listed funds from family, friends or other community members are always welcome.

CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES

By entering into a Charitable Gift Annuity agreement with WCCF, you can increase your income, receive a charitable income tax deduction and benefit future generations.

Gift annuities can be established for one or both spouses.

The following people have established charitable gift annuities at the Foundation:

Martha C. Baer
Richard E. and Rilla E. Herald
Leonard Schnell
Elizabeth Simon
Richard S. and Marguerite M. Wagner

What Is A Gift Annuity?
A gift annuity is a contract between you and the Foundation. In exchange for the gift, you receive fixed income payments to you or your designated beneficiaries. After the last beneficiary dies or the set term of years has expired, an endowed fund may be established for the benefit of a charity of your choice.
How Is My Tax Deduction Determined?
Your tax deduction is based on the value of the asset used to fund the annuity and the income stream you expect to receive.
Is The Income Guaranteed?
By signing the gift annuity agreement, you, or your chosen beneficiary, will receive a fixed income for life.
How Is My Annuity Income Determined?
Income payments are based on your age or your beneficiaries' ages.
What Are The Advantages Of Establishing A Gift Annuity?
A gift annuity offers several rewards:

It pays you, your beneficiary, or both, an income for life - in many cases a larger income than the gift property is presently earning for you.

It offers an immediate tax deduction.

You can avoid capital gains tax upon sale of any appreciated assets.

You will have an eventual estate tax savings.

It enables you to support the organization of your choice.

The Foundation also holds a variety of other charitable funds created by donors who have requested that their fund sources and purposes be maintained in a confidential manner.
