Community Foundation of the Ozarks


Professional Advisors Council

The Community Foundation of the Ozarks has formally established the Professional Advisors Council. The Council, comprised of estate planning, financial and investment professionals, will assist Community Foundation of the Ozarks in increasing the focus on planned charitable giving, as well as provide leadership in promoting future charitable gifts to organizations and communities in the Missouri Ozarks.

The focus of the Council will be to encourage individuals to engage in estate and financial planning. It is the Community Foundation of the Ozarks’ belief that regular and consistent emphasis on planned charitable giving will result in significant future financial support for charitable causes in our communities. The Council will also sponsor professional development and donor education events.

To join the Professional Advisors Council, please complete this form and return it to Winter Skelton.
