Scotty Probasco
Everyone
who has ever met Scotty Probasco knows that 'great work' is not
only
a comment he often uses to acknowledge the work of others but it
is also a way of life for him. Scotty Probasco believes in Chattanooga,
its schools, its churches, the arts and the agencies providing
for human needs.
There is a lot that Scotty does for which he is recognized but there is much that he likes to do without fanfare, which is one of the reasons he established a donor-advised fund through the Community Foundation.
"I've provided for the things I care about in my will and plan to continue to give throughout my lifetime. The donor-advised fund is something extra, set aside specifically to help me make contributions to charities in the area. I can add to the principal of the fund at any time or I can limit my giving to the Fund's earnings."
"The Community Foundation keeps me informed and up to date on who's doing what in the community and who needs help. I make the decisions and then I tell the Foundation where to send grants from my fund and they take care of the rest. And, after I am not around the Foundation's Board will make decisions on where the money should go based on my charitable interest."
"The Community Foundation is the best resource for anyone seeking to effect positive change in our community for generations to come. The Foundation was created for just that reason and is the best way I have found to organize my charitable giving for the greatest possible benefit in the community."
