Elkhart County Estate Planning Council

Supporting Professional Advisors

Trusted Partnerships. Lasting Impact.

Professional advisors play an essential role in helping individuals and families make decisions that reflect their values, provide for loved ones, and support causes they care about.

The Community Foundation of Elkhart County is here to support that work. Whether you’re an attorney, accountant, financial planner, or trust officer, we offer tools and expertise to help you serve your clients well—especially those who wish to include charitable giving as part of their legacy.

We understand that each client’s goals are unique. Our team works alongside advisors to explore giving options, facilitate complex gifts, and ensure that generosity is carried out in ways that are both meaningful and effective.
