Donors can leave a legacy through a simple
bequest in a will, through a charitable lead
trust, a charitable remainder trust, or with a life
insurance policy. Creating a future fund to
benefit the Apostle Islands region can, in some
cases, allow you to realize financial benefits
during your lifetime and create a charitable fund
at a future date. Request our Handbook for
Donors for more information on ways to give.

Community foundations are a collection of many separate
endowed funds established by individuals, families, businesses and
nonprofit organizations to enhance the quality of life in a specific
geographic region. There are a variety of fund options to meet
particular charitable interests.
Gifts can be made in cash, with appreciated securities, real estate,
or through bequests, charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder
trusts or life insurance. Donors may create a fund with a specific
purpose or contribute in any amount to an existing fund.

1) Grants include discretionary grant making and Organizational Endowment
earnings.
2) Net assets include gifts, pledges, endowed funds and temporary funds. A
$100,000 temporary fund was established by anonymous donors in 2006, which
will be granted over three years to a designated organization.
3) Net realized and unrealized gain/loss. When an investment is sold the gain or
loss on the sale is recorded at the realized gain or loss. The unrealized gain or
loss reflects the change in market value between the cost of stock when it was
originally purchased and the value of the stock on the last day of the month.
4) We are grateful for a grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation which continues
to support our operating expenses.
