The Sartori Circle: Linking your legacy to lasting change, in Los Angeles and around the world

FinalGraphic_680x600

what's your legacy?

CCF Founder Joseph Sartori believed that lasting legacies are measured not in dollars but in the difference they make to the community. More than 70 years after his death, the Joseph F. and Margaret R. Sartori Fund is still transforming lives and futures throughout his beloved Los Angeles County.

In honor of our founder’s dedication and generosity, CCF created the Sartori Circle, the name of CCF’s legacy society, to bring together committed donors partnering with CCF to make a permanent impact on the causes they care about most. The passions, stories and goals of Sartori Circle members may vary, but they are linked together by their desire to create a better world for their children, grandchildren and generations to come.

create a legacy of impact

All donors who generously include CCF in their estate plan through their will, trust, beneficiary designations, life income gifts or who name CCF as the successor advisor to their existing Donor Advised Funds are eligible to participate in the Sartori Circle. Whether a donor designates a nonprofit beneficiary, makes a field of interest gift or gives to CCF’s endowment, each donor’s unique charitable wishes are CCF’s highest priority, now and in the future.
