Dorothy J. Plank Memorial Fund

Dorothy Plank was a modest person who did not draw attention to herself.

A longtime friend and her attorney both agreed that while living she would not have wanted people to know her estate plans. They also agree that what Miss Plank did serves as an example for others to consider when planning for charitable causes.

She thought long and hard about what she wanted to do to benefit others.

As a result, she set up three permanent endowment funds with the Community Foundation for organizations she cared about through her trust. Each fund supports various causes and organizations that mattered to her.

The Dorothy J. Plank Memorial Fund supports designated organizations that serve arts and culture and human services.

This modest person’s thoughtful planning is a tremendous example of benevolence.
