Between 2023 and 2032, approximately $2 billion in net worth will transfer from one generation to the next in Anderson County. These assets have three destinations: heirs, taxes, or charity. By capturing just 5% of this transfer, our county could unlock $26 million in charitable capital to help strengthen local nonprofits, address pressing community needs, and create lasting impact for future generations.
A little planning now will have a big impact on the future of our community.
History shows that when wealth leaves a community, it is unlikely to return and help meet local needs. Planning ahead to leave just 5% of your estate to your community is an act of leadership and stewardship that cements your legacy. By reinvesting resources where you and your family have earned a living and enjoyed a good life, you help keep wealth circulating locally - strengthening our community and improving the quality of life for generations to come.
And this kind of philanthropy isn’t limited to the super wealthy. Meaningful impact is within reach for everyone, especially when giving is rooted right here at home.
Through planned giving, you can support the causes that matter most to you. Whether your passion lies in youth programs, community organizations, libraries, parks, schools, churches, or other cornerstones of community life, your gift can help build, strengthen, and safeguard what you value for years to come.
