SCF Legacy Society

The Legacy Society at Solano Community Foundation (SCF) honors those who have chosen to make a planned gift to SCF through their estate plan. That is the sole criterion for membership in the Legacy Society. You can use your gift to honor the name of your family or loved ones, or you may choose to be anonymous. Your planned gift puts you in good company today. Later, your gift will do good works in our communities for generations to come.

Membership Information

If you have included Solano Community Foundation in your estate plans, we would be honored to acknowledge and thank you. Please contact us and ask for the 'Legacy Society Insert' for your records. Your gift is a lasting tribute to your philanthropic passion.
