Join a growing group of generous community members who have named the Community Foundation of the North State (CNFS) in their estate plans or created an endowed fund at CFNS. We are honored to carry out their legacies and make a lasting difference in our communities.

Legacy Society members are recognized (if desired) on our donor wall and included in periodic mailings and events to celebrate the impact of philanthropy in the North State. If you’ve included CFNS in your plans, or would like to know more, contact us at 530-244-1219 or info@cfnorthstate.org.

Your “MOCI” Matters

We take our job of fulfilling your charitable wishes seriously. Completing a Memorandum of Charitable Intent (“MOCI”) for your planned gift is an important step in documenting your wishes. This simple, flexible process is designed to give you peace of mind.

We also understand that your charitable interests may change over time. Your MOCI can be easily updated anytime without the hassle of changing the original will or trust document.

Benefits of a MOCI:

  • Creates an easy way to distribute multiple gifts to all your favorite causes through one simple bequest to CFNS.
  • Offers customized grant distribution options, including one-time distributions, a term of years, or for perpetuity.
  • Ensures your gift does the good work you intend by naming advisors, describing your intentions, establishing criteria, setting payment parameters, or detailing other guidelines.
  • Flexibility to update your instructions at any time.
  • Provides you with the recognition (or privacy) you desire.

To set up or discuss your instructions, give us a call at 530-244-1219 or email info@cfnorthstate.org.
