"There is a young music student who practiced on the piano this weekend, and his report is that it sounded great last summer but is now even better.
Thank you for your dedication to the improvement and continuity  of the Eagles Mere Community organizations."

Sincerely, Sue Schreckengaust,  Co-Chair, EMFA

Let us Assist you with Planned Gifts
 
The Eagles Mere Foundation supports donors like you in your grant making today. And through planned gifts, we help you leave a charitable legacy. Our various planned giving options include bequests, gifts of life insurance, charitable lead trusts and gifts of retirement assets.

Contribute to a Designated, Agency of Field, or Interest Fund
 
Field of Interest Funds
Zuckerman Berstein Community Leadership Fund – this general-purpose fund permits the Foundation to provide grants that support capacity building, programmatic or capital needs among Eagles Mere charitable organizations.
 
You have concerns about the long-term existence of the benefited charity and would like to name backup charities to receive payments if the primary charity ceases to exist or changes its mission
 
You’re simply more comfortable separating the principal gift from the control of the named charity’s staff and/or board
 
You may benefit many different nonprofits in an organized and efficient way
 
Donor Advised Funds
 
The donor-advised fund is the Foundation’s most popular and flexible vehicle for giving. This fund type allows you to make a tax-deductible gift to the fund now, and recommend grants to specific nonprofits on your own timetable.
 
A donor-advised fund allows you to receive a tax deduction in the year of any donation to the fund. Then, you and your family can remain actively involved in the fund’s charitable grant making for generations to come. In fact, many of our philanthropists view their donor-advised funds much like a family foundation; it is an alternative to a private foundation, but provides greater tax advantages and involves fewer administrative burdens.
 
Field of Interest Fund
 
A field of interest fund is similar to the Fund for Eagles Mere in most respects, except that the grant making from the fund is limited to a particular cause or field designated by you, the donor. For example, you might choose to restrict your grants to an area of need, such as the health of Eagles Mere Lake, environment, or youth programming.
 
Our legal name is the Eagles Mere Foundation and our tax ID number is 23-6805376

The Eagles Mere Foundation is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code
