Our family has been enjoying the Houghton Lake area for four<br />
generations. We have many fond memories of weekends and<br />
vacations at the “Lake” and the time we were able to spend together<br />
as a family. Even as our children have grown into adults and begun<br />
their own families and careers, Houghton Lake continues to be<br />
a focal point in our lives. We’ve had so much enjoyment in the<br />
Houghton Lake area we wanted to make sure that future generations<br />
have the same opportunity. We couldn’t think of a better way to do<br />
that than setting up an endowment fund at the Roscommon County<br />
Community Foundation to provide resources to continue to improve<br />
Houghton Lake.<br />

Your planned gift to the Roscommon County Community Foundation will have meaning and impact for<br />
generations to come. Legacy giving does not require a large income or vast estate. Legacy giving only<br />
requires a thoughtful intention to make a difference by identifying a charitable organization in your will or<br />
estate plan.<br />
Benefits of Legacy Giving<br />
• A relationship with the Foundation during your<br />
lifetime.<br />
• A role in determining how your legacy gift will<br />
be used.<br />
• Satisfaction in knowing your legacy will make a<br />
difference for your community.<br />
• Special recognition in newsletters and annual<br />
reports, unless anonymity is desired.<br />
• Receipt of the <strong>RCCF</strong> Annual Report.<br />
• Some planned gifts can reduce your tax burden<br />
during your lifetime, such as gifts of securities<br />
donated in-kind.<br />
Types of Planned Giving<br />
Gifts made through a bequest in a will or trust are<br />
not the only means of planned giving. Other ways in<br />
which donors can apply personal resources toward<br />
the betterment of their community through planned<br />
giving include:<br />
• Estates<br />
• Bequest in a Will or Living Trust<br />
• Gifts of Life Insurance<br />
• Charitable Gift Annuities<br />
• Charitable Remainder Trusts<br />
• Beneficiary Designation of Individual Retirement<br />
Accounts (IRA, 401K, 403B)<br />
If you’ve already included the Community Foundation in your will, we encourage you to let us know so<br />
that we may honor you as a member of the Legacy Society. Legacy Society members share a dedication<br />
to Roscommon County – but every act of giving is personal and unique. Contact us to discuss your<br />
preferences.<br />
