Legacy Spotlight: Betty Jo Forrest
“Returning to my hometown of Greensboro, after spending many years away, has been a pleasure. There is so much beauty here with our parks and plenty of trails where I enjoy spending a lot of my time. I established my fund with the Community Foundation in 2017. Since that time, I have worked with the very qualified and capable staff as I continue to grow and develop my philanthropic interests. On several occasions I have had the experience of having meetings arranged with the staff of nonprofits which caught my attention. I feel that I can trust the staff to do their due diligence in the screening of organizations and sometimes offer suggestions about nonprofits which had not previously drawn my attention.
This confidence in the staff at the Foundation gives me the opportunity to feel that my money will be going to places where it will be used wisely. The ease with which I can modify my estate planning without involving my estate attorney each time is certainly one of the major advantages of having my Wall-Forrest Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro.”
