She handed over the deed, and the Foundation sold the property and established a donor advised fund, through which Mrs. Anderson can choose the charities that will benefit from her generosity. “I wanted to make a fund where I could give some money away,” she said.

There’s a personal story behind one of the most meaningful donations, which she made to honor the Tuskeegee Airmen.

Mr. Jonathan A. Alderman Mr. Fred M. Martin lawyer G. Boone Smith, III of the firm Smith, Anderson, Walker & Reichert, Mauldin & Jenkins Hawkins, Hollingsworth and Reeves. LLP Mrs. Charlotte E. McMullan “Some do have charitable intent, some don’t,” Mr. R. Clayton Capps McMullan & McMullan he added. “For those who do, the Community James, Bates, Pope and Spivey Mr. J. Patrick Meyer, Jr. Foundation offers is a great alternative to a private Mr. Robert E. Chanin Hall, Bloch, Garland & Meyer foundation because of their greater flexibility and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. Mr. Jeffrey M. Rutledge knowledge of local philanthropy. And you can have Mr. C. Jason Churchwell Martin Snow, LLP confidence that the bequest will be handled by a Northwestern Mutual Financial Network Mr. G.
