Get started now: Your 2026 charitable giving checklist

A few thoughtful steps early in the year can bring focus and confidence to your giving:

  1. Review your 2025 giving. We can help you understand the impact of your past gifts, identify patterns, and explore opportunities for the year ahead.
  2. Talk with your advisors early. New tax laws make early coordination especially important. This is also a good time to revisit estate plans and beneficiary designations that may include charitable goals.
  3. Set clear goals for 2026. Whether you want to support favorite organizations, respond to emerging needs, or involve your family in giving, we can help you create a thoughtful, flexible plan.

You don’t have to navigate charitable planning alone. The Community Foundation is honored to serve as your trusted partner—helping you turn generosity into lasting impact for Arkansas, now and for generations to come.
