What is the Pink Circle Society?

 

Membership in the Pink Circle Society is the recognition of a donor's plan to leave a lasting legacy that benefits the Women's Giving Circle of Frederick County through a planned gift. Pink Circle Society members need not be members of the Women's Giving Circle.

​

Membership in the WGC Pink Circle Society qualifies the donor for the Community Foundation's Cornerstone Society.

What is a planned gift?

 

A planned gift is a contribution that is activated as part of your estate. It can be set up as a bequest, a charitable trust, a charitable gift annuity, an estate plan,  life insurance policy, or designated endowment fund.

 

A bequest is one of the  most straightforward methods of planned giving. With the help of your advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying that a gift be made to the Women's Giving Circle via the Community Foundation of Frederick County as part of your estate plan.

​

Your options for making a bequest include:

  1. Gift of a specific dollar amount or asset

  2. Gift of a percentage of your estate

  3. Gift from the balance or residue of your estate

  4. Primary or secondary beneficiary designation of certain assets
