Giving to The Cottage Grove Place Foundation.

The Cottage Grove Place Foundation is managed by its own nonprofit organization established by our board of trustees. This organization has a board of directors to oversee both the long-term investment and current disbursement of Foundation funds. The goal of our Foundation is to:

  • Help residents, their friends and families make long-lasting contributions to improve the quality of life at Cottage Grove Place.

  • Make sure these gifts are used in keeping with the donor’s wishes.

  • Utilize other gifts to finish special projects that can’t be funded from residents’ fees.


The first gift to the Foundation was given as a memorial to improve library services and resources. Since then, others have contributed in many ways to beautify the landscape and enhance the quality of many other areas at Cottage Grove Place. Each year, the Foundation board will dedicate unrestricted Foundation income and designated contributions toward a special project.

Your planned gift offers many tax advantages. We recommend that you consult with your tax and legal advisors to fully understand the complexities of these and other gift options.
