Personal Rewards and Benefits

Rising costs are closing doors to higher education for many students in our community.  Through Cambridge-Isanti Dollars for Scholars Foundation we have the opportunity to make a strong, collective statement about the importance of education beyond high school.

There are many ways you can help Cambridge-Isanti Dollars for Scholars Foundation.  Your final choice of a gift plan depends upon your own personal priorities, financial circumstances, and charitable goals.  You can designate your gift to benefit one or more areas of your choosing, or make an unrestricted gift.

You will have the satisfaction that comes with knowing you've made a difference in the lives of others. But we also want to make sure that you benefit from making a gift to us.  In fact, the best gift plans also improve your financial and tax situation.

As we confront the challenges of the future of our young people, we know that the generosity of those who assist us will make all the difference in our success!
