The Madison Curling Foundation is an operating foundation who makes direct charitable contributions to the Madison Curling Club to help pay for specific expenses. Individual charitable contributions with specific intentions for use are organized by the Foundation to ensure the funds are used as the donor intends. These can be used for upgrades to equipment in the icehouse, renovations to the club room including the kitchen and viewing area, exterior building projects, technological updates, junior curling grants, or other special requests. The Madison Curling Foundation’s commitment is to make sure these funds will be used in accordance with the donor’s intention.
Planned Giving
Many individuals establish wills, revocable living trusts, and irrevocable trusts as part of their overall estate planning. Giving to a favorite nonprofit organization such as the Madison Curling Foundation can be a convenient and tax savings option, while helping to ensure the Madison Curling Foundation can continue to impact future generations. This impact comes in many forms including providing a place to curl and opportunities to create lifelong friendships and memories through the game of curling.
