Leave a Legacy
Take care of your family. Take care of your community.
A new study found that $186 million will change hands from one generation to the next in Jones County in the next decade. If we each set aside just 5% of our assets, over $9 million would be preserved in endowments for the benefit of our county – resulting in over $11 million for Jones County communities over 20 years.
Consider your community a part of your family. You can leave an inheritence to your children and loved ones and also leave a legacy for your community.
