The 1810 Circle Society
In March 1810, Clinton County was officially established, and the county’s population was recorded as 2,674. It was those county residents who began transforming a trackless wilderness and virgin land into a civilized community.
By joining the 1810 Circle Society, you are connecting generations of Clinton County residents, linking the hard work, generosity and vision of the past with the present, helping to create a resilient community where people want to live, work and grow.
We invite you to add your legacy to those friends of the Clinton County Foundation who share a vision of a brighter tomorrow. Friends leave gifts to their community through the Clinton County Foundation by a bequest in a will, estate plans or trust agreement.
Joining the 1810 Circle Society can be accomplished in three easy steps:
- Arrange for your estate to leave a gift to the Clinton County Foundation.
- Inform the Clinton County Foundation of your gift.
- Tell us about your gift.
There is no minimum required to qualify for membership. Bequests are the most common method used to leave a gift to the Clinton County Foundation. Here is our sample bequest language to help guide your plan.
Other deferred gifts include:
- Designating all or a portion of your retirement assets to the Foundation
- Making the Foundation the beneficiary of an insurance policy
- Establishing a charitable gift annuity through the Foundation and others
If you so choose, 1810 Circle Society members may remain anonymous.
