Philanthropy

Bank of the Pacific has established a unique partnership with Skagit Community Foundation to help you and your family build a tradition of giving and provides a living legacy for future generations.

What is the reward for donating to charity? Maybe it’s the ability to give one gift and receive one deduction at year end while directing grants to the causes you care about. More likely, it’s the ability to change children’s lives, support public art, save endangered resources, care for seniors, plant trees, build clinics, or buy library books. There are many worthy charities working to improve lives in countless ways.

With a cash gift, appreciated stock or other assets, you can establish a Donor Advised Fund in your or your family’s name. Working with your Private Client Services officer and a professional grant maker from Skagit Community Foundation you can target the issues you care about most. Your generosity is reward by both immediate tax benefits and a lasting sense of accomplishment. It’s a simple, powerful and highly personal approach to giving that helps you and your family stay connected to the community and a foundation for a living legacy.
