You have goals for your charitable giving.
We are here to help you achieve them.
John Hazlehurst opened his first CFWNC fund in 2007 and his most recent in 2023, for a total of 24 funds - nineteen charitable gift annuities and five expectancy funds. “I’ve spent most of my life in Asheville, and I feel very attached to this place. It makes me feel good to be giving back, and I have found CFWNC to be a good match for my giving. In the process of wanting to make charitable gifts in the community, annuities ease some of my tax obligations, and the process is straightforward. It is pleasing to me to know that in addition to satisfying my desire to give back that I have the opportunity to modify my plans. My loyalty is with CFWNC.” Photo courtesy of CFWNC.
