June and Ron Dawson are strong supporters of London Community Foundation. In 2000, they started the June and Ronald Dawson Family Fund, a community fund. As a named fund within the Community Fund, their gift will be a truly valued legacy to help community needs.

They also donated a gift of life insurance to the Foundation.

We really made this gift of life insurance donation as a way of giving back to the community. We chose London Community Foundation because of the wide areas of outreach.”

"The Dawsons love of life and community involvement will live through the good works of this fund," says Martha Powell, CEO of London Community Foundation. "Because the Community Fund pools donations into a large unrestricted fund, it's in this way we're able to provide funding to a wide range of registered charitable organizations tackling issues vital to our community's quality of life. Grants made from the Community Fund are determined using London's Vital Signs report as a blueprint to invest - and take action."

The gift of life insurance has allowed them to make a significant future gift to benefit charities, while enjoying current tax savings. It is an great way to give a larger and more lasting gift at a fraction of the ultimate value from disposable income.
