Planned Giving:
A Gift That Lives On
The Island Community Center has been a cornerstone of island life for over two decades, and your planned gift can ensure it remains strong for decades to come. Many of our most cherished supporters have chosen to remember the ICC in their estate plans, knowing their legacy will continue to serve island families long after they’re gone.
Why Island Residents Choose Planned Giving:
“I spent 40 years on this island, and the Community Center gave my grandkids a place to belong. Including it in my will was an easy decision; I want other grandparents to have that same joy.”
Whether you’ve lived here for generations or discovered this special place later in life, a planned gift to the ICC is a way to give back to the community that’s given you so much.

Bequests in Your Will or Trust
A charitable bequest is one of the simplest ways to leave a legacy. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other bequests are fulfilled. Your estate may benefit from tax deductions while ensuring the ICC continues serving island families.
Retirement Plan or Life Insurance Beneficiary
Name the Island Community Center as a full or partial beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy. This simple designation form can create a significant gift without impacting your current finances, and your estate may avoid heavy taxation on retirement assets.
Gifts of Stock or Appreciated Assets
Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds allows you to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction for the full market value. It’s a tax-smart way to make a larger impact than you might through cash alone.
no gift is too small!
Every planned gift, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference. Whether it’s $500 or $500,000, your legacy gift will be stewarded with care and gratitude.
