Gigi Cowan-Bondick is a professional photographer whose focus is on wildlife and outdoor pictures. Outside of her profession, Gigi Bondick supports the Concord Carlisle Community Chest, which offers those interested in philanthropy a few ways to donate.
Previous to the organizations founding, volunteers would fan out all over the community and knock on doors for 10 days in October to raise money. A few years later, in 1947, the Concord Carlisle Community Chest began and adopted the symbol of the Minute Men who existed close to two centuries ago because of their initiative to take ownership of their community. The concept of grassroots mission that would focus on fundraising to help the community took off, and more than 70 years later, the Concord Carlisle Community Chest would fund several projects in the area.
Planned giving is one of the ways in which people can give through this organization. Planned gifts are donations that are given through a will, retirement account, or an insurance policy. If donating funds through a will, donors provide a bequest that stipulates the amount they want to give. These bequests are important because they provide the organization with stability and are a consistent source of funding.
