Imagine what that kind of legacy could mean for Centre County—today and for generations to come.
Centre Foundation is proud to participate in the PA Giving Pledge, a statewide effort bringing together 41 community foundations to encourage Pennsylvanians to consider leaving just 5% of their estate to charitable causes.
In Centre County alone, an estimated $4.5 billion will transfer between generations by 2033. If only 5% of that wealth were set aside for community good, it could generate more than $223 million in lasting charitable support.
