Niagara Community Foundation is privileged to be supported by a Circle of Ambassadors.
After retiring from the NCF Board of Directors, our volunteers are welcomed to become an official "NCF Ambassador." This role provides an opportunity for past Directors to continue to share the story of NCF and open doors for future growth of the organization.
THANK YOU for being a dedicated member of our Ambassadors Circle and continuing to give of your time, talent and treasure to promote philanthropy across Niagara.
As a past Director, you know the ins-and-outs of the organization and will have no problem talking about the work of the Foundation when asked. However, it can feel a bit awkward to bring it up in conversation.
We encourage you to start to notice "life triggers." These are milestones or events that happen throughout life that would spark conversations about legacy, philanthropy or financial planning.
