Ways to Support Our Community
There are many ways to lend your financial support to community services and activities in the City of La Mirada. Gifts may be unrestricted in use so the Foundation can decide which local need is the most pressing. You may also specify that your gift be targeted to a particular program or purpose. You may designate further that the gift be placed in an endowment so that the interest it earns keeps giving for many years. If a gift is not designated for endowment, it is considered a "current expenditure" gift. Some donors make current gifts, and others choose to satisfy their commitment over a period of time.
You may wish to retain an interest in your gift, such as the right to receive income from it, or to give through your estate. Under certain circumstances, your gift may entitle you to significant tax benefits.
However you choose to support the community service activities in La Mirada, be assured that your gift will help to make La Mirada an even better community in which to live.
Gifts to support the community may be made payable to the La Mirada Community Foundation, a non-profit, public benefit corporation that accepts and administers private support for the community.
Since the La Mirada Community Foundation is a non-profit organization, gifts may qualify for a federal, and often state, income tax charitable donation. As with all financial considerations, potential donors are encouraged to discuss the tax advantages and other aspects of charitable giving with their attorney, tax advisor or financial consultant.
