Bur Oak Society
The Fort Atkinson Community Foundation established the Bur Oak Legacy Society on the occasion of the Foundation's 50th anniversary to recognize people who have made provisions in their estate plans to provide a gift to FACF for the causes they care about the most. The pamphlet below contains more information about the Bur Oak Society, including how to become a member. Won't you join us?​
By including FACF in their estate plans, members of the Bur Oak Legacy Society are ensuring that our work toward a Better Fort Atkinson will be ongoing.
Your Legacy will allow you to establish a fund at FACF to benefit your favorite nonprofit organizations or causes. You may also choose to designate your legacy gift to any current FACF Fund or our critical General Fund, an unrestricted fund that allows our directors to respond to the changing needs of the community.
