Community Foundation of the Ozarks


Legacy Society

The Legacy Society is comprised of donors who have made a planned gift to the Community Foundation of the Ozarks or one of its affiliates. The Legacy Society was created in 1990 to recognize and thank donors in their lifetimes and to offer the opportunity to introduce ourselves and learn more about the donor’s philanthropic wishes.

This year, the Community Foundation of the Ozarks is again focusing on the importance of expanding our planned giving commitments. Because of this, we’ve set an ambitious goal of adding 25 new members to the Legacy Society. Four Legacy Society members have graciously stepped forward as honorary ambassadors for the planned giving initiative: Sally Baird, CFO board of directors chairman; Julie Brown, past board chairman; Ron Giedd, Greater Seymour Area Foundation president emeritus; and Bill Putnam, former Community Foundation of Southwest Missouri executive director. Hear their stories and learn how you too can give back to your community here.
