We wish you and your family a joyful, healthy, and memorable new year ahead!

A new year is like an empty road. The chalk is in your hands.  So is this the year you create a charitable foundation to help others? It’s now your chance to write a beautiful story for those less fortunate, and yourself. Happy New Year!

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A World of Good Wishes. One of the real joys this holiday season is the opportunity to say thank you and wish you the very best for the new year.

The Magic of Giving to Charities

“Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most.”  – Ruth Stapleton

4 benefits of starting a fund with the Pinellas Community Foundation:

1. We handle all of the administrative details.
2. You receive tax benefits in the year your gift is made.
3. You have options: You can be involved in the good works your gift makes possible, recommend an area or organization you’d like your gift to support, or rely on the community foundation to determine and address the areas of greatest need in our community.
4. Funded forever: You may elect to endow your fund so that it is invested over time so the earnings from your fund are used to make grants to your favorite charities. Your gift, and all future earnings from your gift, is a permanent source of community capital – most important, your fund helps others forever.

“My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?”       –  Bob Hope
