Imagine the Future

Spring is almost here, and we’re excited to continue our conversations with so many of you about your charitable priorities for 2026. It’s fun to see your generosity and impact take shape, whether you’ve already established your fund at the Branch County Community Foundation, are considering doing so, or regularly support the Community Foundation’s initiatives. 

As always, we are happy to share tips and trends to help guide your philanthropy as you support the causes that mean the most to you.

• Women are increasingly shaping the future of philanthropy—within families, businesses, and communities. During Women’s History Month, BCCF is happy to help you explore how thoughtful planning can translate your own growing influence and resources into lasting, multi-generational impact.

• New tax rules taking effect in 2026 could change how—and when—your charitable gifts deliver maximum benefit. A quick review with your CPA and the community foundation team can help ensure your giving strategy stays both tax-efficient and aligned with your goals.

• If you’ve been meaning to “do more” with your philanthropy, you’re not alone. Discover how small, intentional steps—taken over time with the Community Foundation by your side—can help you build a charitable plan that evolves with your life, your family, and your vision for impact.

BCCF is honored to be your home for charitable giving, and we appreciate the opportunity to work together!
