Ways to Give
Major Gifts
Critical Funding for First Responders
Critical and key to The Palm Beach Police & Fire Foundation’s development strategy are Major Gifts, which provide the means to strengthen an enduring structure, and sustain its financial support of the Town’s Public Safety departments. Major gifts, which set an example for others, provide supplementary funding for new and upgraded equipment, crime prevention technology, additional specialized training and education, and other unmet needs not budgeted by the Town that enhance the public’s safety — and aid police and fire rescue workers to continue to operate at a high level of performance.
Planned Giving
Gifts for the Future
To best foster and ensure long-term, reliable support, and enable the Foundation to continue to provide academic scholarships to qualified children of the Town’s public safety workers, it recently established “The Palm Beach Police & Fire Foundation Endowment Program.” Through this planned giving program, donors can choose to fund existing programs or establish new projects. Gifts can be made through donor-advised funds, stocks, IRA’s, foundation grants, bequests, life insurance and retirement plans.
For more information about planned giving, please contact Rebecca Godwin, President & COO, who can assist and direct philanthropists so that major gifts maximize inspiration, impact and legacy.
