Bud has always believed that a foundation gift creates winners for everyone: The Foundation, the charity, and the donor. The only loser is the IRS! “Through our Charitable Gift Annuity, the Foundation will be able to use our dollars after we no longer need them. In the meantime, we have greatly increased our cash flow. The Foundation is special.”

Mrs. Ingmand stated, “The Foundation was a perfect way for me to honor my mother by endowing a fund for the youth program at Trinity. It is rewarding for me to know that my fund will be giving forever. I am confident that my wishes will always be honored.”
