The Legacy Fund was created in 2014 as a donor advised fund of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation (GMF). Different from a traditional endowment, a donor advised fund allows the PDCF Board to contribute to projects when the community need arises. As long as the required minimum balance, currently $25,000, is maintained, the PDCF Board of Directors has the flexibility to determine the best opportunity to innovate and elevate our community through the Legacy Fund. Quarterly funds earmarked for the Legacy Fund are transferred from PDCF to the GMF. The GMF's 100+ year history and exceptional investment planning ensures your gift will be stewarded with the utmost care and long-term impact. What guides the Legacy Fund? The PDCF Board of Directors is responsible for determining the grant opportunities for the Legacy Fund. They are guided by a mission which enables members to pool resources to advance women and girls in our community through shared experiences and financial contributions. Our PD values are demonstrated by expanding what is possible for women and the world they influence. We are community leaders focused on meaningful action and intentional inclusion. We can't do it alone. By joining your resources with other members, we have the opportunity to give back in a much more significant way than any one person on their own. Give a lifetime or planned gift and share the satisfaction of knowing tomorrow's PDCF will continue to build strong and meaningful action across our community. Whether it is a gift during your lifetime or a planned gift, you can name Professional Dimensions Charitable Fund as your beneficiary and specify a designation to the Professional Dimensions Legacy Fund. Our PD office can assist you with your intentions. *Please make donation/planned gift to "Professional Dimensions Charitable Fund, designated to PD Legacy Fund." |
