Foundation announces Legacy Society Membership

When Reverend Raymond Ley was asked why he planned to leave a gift in his estate for the Huntingburg Foundation his answer was inquisitive, “Who else can assure my gift will perpetually make a difference?”

Rev. Ley recognized the Community Foundation offers a simple, powerful, and highly personal approach to charitable giving. His estate gift is an investment in our community’s future and directly supports two of his favorite charities—Salem United Church of Christ and Generations. This is why he is a member of our Legacy Society, created to recognize living individuals who share the Foundation’s dedication to our community.
