Giving for Everyone

The Bittner family is actively involved in Howard County's community in many ways. Through the Bittner Family Fund, Dave and Ilana Bittner involve their two sons in philanthropy and keep them actively involved in giving back to our community.

Giving that Costs Little or Nothing During Your Lifetime

Everyone can give back - learn about these no cost giving options.

Gifts from Your Will or Trust
Need to preserve your assets during your lifetime? You can plan a gift to us that will only take effect after your other obligations have ceased.

Real Estate
Give us assets subject to double taxation, then leave more to your family.

Appreciated Securities
Take advantage of appreciated securities without incurring capital gains tax.

Life Insurance
You don't need a large estate to make a significant gift to us. Leverage your dollars for a larger gift.

Groups

Get your club, team, or community group involved in giving.

Whatever your sports team, club, or community group's interest – we can help connect you to causes and organizations that match your passions.

Volunteerism

Share your time and talent.

While our community nonprofits depend on our help to fund their existing services and offer new ones, many also appreciate the gift of time. Opportunities to give back to the community through volunteerism abound in Howard County. Here are a few places to start.
