Tom and Mary Murphy have worked toward their much deserved retirement, and have diverse interests in the two communities they now divide their time between. Carrying through on what they believe is their responsibility to ‘pass it on,’ their list of favorite causes and charities is long.
“The donor advised fund we recently established within the Community Foundation provides us with the ‘one stop shopping’ convenience that works for us. With one larger gift, we receive the charitable deduction up front and then recommend gifts to a variety of carefully chosen charities over time,” said Tom.
First and foremost in their giving, the Murphys look at what goes to the bottom line, and insist on low overhead costs for the charities they support, including the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin. “The Community Foundation has capabilities in serving our charitable needs in both communities that we have not yet utilized and intend to in the future.”
