Anyone can have their own foundation within the Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama. A fund can grow over a period of years or it can be created through a will. Some donors give to an existing funds.

We accept many types of gift: cash, checks, stocks, bonds, land (homes, farms, vacant lots, etc.), personal property (household contents, cars, jewelry, etc.), will bequests, retirement plans (traditional, Roth, SEP, & SIMPLE IRA’s), life estate contracts, life insurance, Revocable Living Trusts, Trust Assets, Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts, Charitable Remainder Unitrusts, and Charitable Lead Trusts

The Anvil Society is a legacy program that honors individuals or families who commit to shaping and forging a stronger future for our community.  Membership is perpetual and recognizes those who have arranged a planned gift to the Community Foundation through a will, trust or assignment of a contract.
Once a gift has been established, the name of the donor is placed on a column in the lobby of the Community Foundation. Atop the column is an Anvil with the word “Future” stamped on it.

 Meet some of our generous donors.
