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.
The Community Foundation of the Ozarks continues to focus on the importance of expanding our planned giving commitments. The honorary ambassadors for our planned giving initiative have been Sally Baird, CFO board of directors past board 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. The video “Conversation with Bill Putnam” offers his insights on the value of planned giving and estate planning for both families and communities.
