Bartholomew Society
Heritage Fund – the Community Foundation of
Bartholomew County
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” – Pericles
The BARTHOLOMEW SOCIETY is a group of generous individuals who have a philanthropic wish to give back to their community. Bartholomew Society members plan for future gifts to the community through estate plans which build or add to endowed funds at Heritage Fund. Through the Bartholomew Society, Heritage Fund is able to recognize these individuals during their lifetime.
For many, a gift from their estate is the most meaningful gift ever. It preserves their family name and creates a charitable legacy that supports the causes that matter to them and their family forever. A charitable gift to the “Bartholomew Society” of the Heritage Fund also allows children to continue family involvement in charitable grant making.
As beneficiary of your deferred gift, Heritage Fund is charged with the trust and responsibility of carrying out your wishes. We have a long-standing commitment to honor your plans and work with you to build an even better Bartholomew County for generations that follow.
It is easy to become a Bartholomew Society member. Simply notify us of your plans to leave a gift to the Heritage Fund. Gifts can be made through your estate plan, or written in your will, insurance policy, remainder trust or other planned gift.
If you choose to become a Bartholomew Society member, we encourage you to let us know so that we may enter your name in the membership record. Please contact Lisa Shafran at (812) 376-7772 or lshafran@heritagefundbc.org with questions or if you would like more information.
Bartholomew Society members will always be recognized as contributing members of this generation, leaving a record of generosity and support for the charitable causes of our community – for future generations to see and respect. We thank the members of the Bartholomew Society for their foresight and commitment to the Bartholomew County community.
Many individuals have quietly made Heritage Fund a beneficiary in their estate planning but have not informed us. Others have consented to have their names included in the list below with the hope that it will encourage others.
