Our Legacy Society recognizes those individuals and couples who have generously made provisions in their estate or financial plans to establish a charitable legacy through the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry.

We are humbled and honored to play a part in maintaining their legacy and ensuring philanthropic support for our community and the causes most important to them for generations to come.

 Legacy Society Members may enjoy:

  • Invitations to special events and receptions
  • Exclusive communications
  • The option to receive recognition in CFL marketing material 

Peter and Nettie Wile knew they could make a difference through their philanthropy.

The couple established a charitable gift annuity through Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, which provided them a steady income stream while they were living, along with a number of tax advantages.

After they passed away – Peter in 2001 and Nettie in 2005 – their gift annuity converted to an endowed fund. The Peter and Nettie Wile Endowment Fund continues to provide ongoing charitable support to three organizations that meant a lot to them: Congregation Beth Yam, Volunteers in Medicine and Hospice Care of the Lowcountry (now MiraSol Health).
