Community Foundation of Greater Lakeland

Offers Charitable Opportunity for 2008 Tax Rebate

Lakeland, FL - As you may be aware, more than 130 million Americans will soon receive a one-time tax rebate from the IRS. You may have a plan for how to use your economic stimulus payment but have you thought about using your tax rebate to make a difference in your community? In these tough economic times local organizations, which provide vital programs to our community, need your help to continue offering much-needed services.

The Community Foundation of Greater Lakeland is committed to improve the quality of life by providing a vehicle that promotes philanthropy in the greater Lakeland community, the nation and the world. "By donating a portion or your entire tax rebate to the CFGL, you can make an immediate impact on our community and deduct the gift from your 2008 taxes", stated CFGL President, Kimberly Grady Brock. "The CFGL is a public charity, which means that donors benefit from the most favorable tax deductions available under IRS regulations". The CFGL will use your gift to impact the greatest needs in our community, or distribute your gift to the charity of your choice.

The decisions you make about how you give back today will have a powerful impact on you, your loved ones and our community for many years to come. Please contact us at 863/683-3131 or come see us at 1501 S. Florida Ave., Lakeland, FL 33803 to learn more about how to donate your tax rebate. Moreover, I encourage you to go to our website at www.cfgl.org to learn more about the CFGL and how we can help you build a charitable legacy of your own".
